Within the framework of the 1st Meeting of Successful Experiences in Digital Literacy for Older Adults, held on November 13 and 14 in the city of Oxapampa, the National Program of Solidarity Assistance Pensión 65, under Peru’s Ministry of Development and Social Inclusion, granted a recognition to Dispurse Foundation for its contribution to strengthening digital literacy processes for older adults in vulnerable situations.
The recognition was presented during the central day of the meeting, which brought together national and local authorities, territorial teams, facilitators, and older adults from eleven districts of the Pasco region, as part of the coordinated work carried out under the Interinstitutional Cooperation Agreement between Pensión 65 and Dispurse Foundation.
The meeting was organized by Pensión 65’s Pasco Territorial Unit and the Provincial Municipality of Oxapampa, and gathered more than 150 older adults, beneficiaries of the social program, who are currently participating in digital literacy processes through the use of tablets and the FOCUS educational application, complemented by traditional pedagogical tools.
As part of the agenda, several activities were carried out to showcase the progress achieved in the territories, including a graduation ceremony for older adults, a discussion forum on incorporating digital literacy into the public policy agenda, and an experience fair where districts presented their methodologies, teaching materials, and learning outcomes.
During the fair, the most outstanding experiences of 2025 were also recognized, with the districts of Chontabamba, Santa Ana de Tusi, and Ticlacayán being awarded, highlighting the commitment of local governments to closing educational gaps among the older adult population.
For Dispurse Foundation, this recognition represents institutional endorsement of the work being carried out in the territories and reinforces the importance of coordination between the State, local governments, and civil society to guarantee the right to education throughout the life course.
In September, the second edition of Rewriting Stories: Our Commitment to Education for Young People and Adults was held in Lima. The event was promoted by the business-led movement Es Hoy and Dispurse Foundation as a space to showcase concrete progress in Education for Young People and Adults (EYPA) and to recognize those making it possible to expand this right across the country.
Vi är stolta över att meddela att 10 kvinnor framgångsrikt har genomfört vårt litteracitetsprogram i Bolivia. Detta pilotprojekt, genomfört i makrodistriktet Periferica i La Paz, är resultatet av ett värdefullt samarbete med Fundación Educación y Cooperación (Educo) och Fundación Centro de Cultura Popular (FCCP).
En la Fundación Dispurse, seguimos avanzando en nuestro compromiso con la educación de personas jóvenes y adultas en situación de vulnerabilidad. Nos complace anunciar que hemos concretado la réplica de la exitosa experiencia de las Escuelas Comunitarias Abiertas (ECA) desarrollada en la provincia de Quispicanchi, Cusco, esta vez en el distrito de Los Baños del Inca, en la región Cajamarca.
