The program is being articulated through various actions.
The first was the creation of a Digital Training Platform that includes content with a maximum of 90 hours of training and which contains materials and teaching guides, and it also serves for the monitoring of the project and pedagogical support throughout Spain. A didactic methodology has been developed with content appropriate to each age group (9-11 years, 12-13 years, and 14-17 years) and skill level, ensuring meaningful learning and the acquisition of digital competencies according to the European Digital Competence Framework DigComp 2.1 of the European Commission.
Secondly, through the Agreement of the Plenary of the Sectoral Conference on Childhood and Adolescence, held on December 13, 2022, the Proposal for territorial distribution to the Autonomous Communities and Cities was approved, amounting to 50 million euros, of funds for training in digital competencies for girls, boys, and teenagers in vulnerable situations, for the autonomous communities and cities that can benefit within the framework of the "Digital Skills for Childhood (CODI)" program of the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan. This territorial distribution was the result of the application of variables for fund distribution by type of investment, seeking to ensure that resources reach areas with the greatest need and potential impact.
And thirdly, through the Royal Decree 1086/2023, dated December 12, which regulates the direct granting of subsidies to Third Sector entities for the implementation of digital skills training activities for vulnerable children, adolescents, and youth, within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan, the Ministry of Youth and Childhood has assigned 97,041,430 euros to twelve Third Sector entities. Given the nature of the activities and their objective, which is to reach a large number of children, adolescents, and young people who are in vulnerable situations, the Ministry of Youth and Childhood has opted for the direct allocation of funds to Third Sector Social Action entities that have sufficient experience, capacity, and presence to develop projects of these characteristics, being able to reach vulnerable children who would not otherwise benefit from the CODI program. Therefore, it was not possible to apply the mechanisms of concurrence in granting as these are subsidies that finance specific and closed actions, in compliance with the milestones provided for in the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan.
