#RighttoOffline Campaign
The Right to Offline Campaign spearheaded by Lire et Ecrire advocates for guaranteed offline access to essential services, emphasising human interactions and addressing digital exclusion. The Campaign launched on January 30th 2025 at the European Parliament aims to ensure that everyone can access essential services, regardless of their digital literacy or access to technology
The Campaign calls for:
Guaranteed offline access: making sure essential services, including public services, are accessible through non-digital means like counters, phone lines, and postal correspondence
No discrimination: ensuring that choosing offline access does not negatively impact the quality of service or the individual
Digital inclusion: supporting programmes that equip people with digital skills to bridge the digital gap, without making digital proficiency a prerequisite for accessing services

ECHO Network Project
ECHO (Ethical, Common, Human, and Open) is a project coordinated by CEMEA France with partner organisations including CEMEA Belgique, CEMEA Federazione Italiana, Centre for Peace Studies, Framasoft, SOLIDAR Foundation, and Willi-Eichler-Akademie. It intends to promote digital citizenship education and responsible use of digital technology, providing citizens and organisations with a clear understanding of how to use digital technology ethically, and focuses on how EU institutions address this matter to safeguard citizens. At the core of the project lies the aim to engage (young) people in a digital transition towards an ethical, responsible, inclusive, and sustainable digital space. The project explores how CSOs including youth organisations, can be empowered to understand how our digital society works, and enabled exchange of practices and shared experiences on the ethical use of digital technologies.
