Digital inclusion is essential to ensuring that technology benefits everyone equally.

We are proud to see CYENS Centre of Excellence in strategic partnership with CYTA for the Digital Inclusion campaign, launched this week in Cyprus under the “Είμαι Ισότιμα Εδώ / I Am Equally Present” umbrella campaign.

Through the Digital Kin project, CYTA and CYENS are working to strengthen digital skills in rural and remote communities across Cyprus, supporting individuals — mainly elderly people — in gaining digital confidence through practical, step-by-step guidance in using digital tools.

Digital Kin is one of three strategic partnerships launched under CYTA’s broader Digital Inclusion campaign, aimed at making the digital future more accessible and inclusive for all. The initiative was presented during an event organised in the context of World Telecommunication and Information Society Day 2026, under the theme “Digital Lifelines: Strengthening Resilience in a Connected World.”

CYENS was represented by Marios Constantinides and Sophia Ppali, as well as the students working on the project: Lydia Paschalidou, Elena Eleftheriou and Aleksandra Ulanova. Sophia Ppali, who is leading the design and research of the project, presented Digital Kin during the panel where the three initiatives of the campaign were introduced.

We thank CYTA for the collaboration and look forward to contributing to initiatives that help make digital opportunities more accessible to all.
