How it works
- Collection
We accept PCs if they are still suitable for personal (or 'family') use. The biggest contribution comes from local businesses and from individual citizens who, with a gesture that costs little or nothing, want to contribute to the improvement of the community!
Regeneration
The PCs are professionally refurbished.
Personal data is deleted in a certified manner (according to the strictest specifications of the banking world) and all the software is installed from scratch.
A Formula One pit stop! - Valorization
Every PC becomes a small work of art!
The exterior is customized with graphics designed by local artists specifically for the project. Even the background and the contents are personalized and reflect the spirit. Each device thus becomes a 'unique piece'!
Distribution
The PCs are distributed (free of charge) by the “Social Division” of the City of Lugano.
Citizens who ethically prefer 'conscious used' to the purchase of the new one, or are simply in a difficult moment, can receive a device. - Formation
Together with the PCs, training sessions are provided on the specific needs of citizens.
From the basics of computer science to techniques to defend yourself from Cyberbullying. For a #digitaleconsapevole citizen!
