Premises are fully equipped and accessible for people with physical disabilities. CTC Rijeka realizes its goals through 4 program areas, which are mutually interconnected, complementary and in some segments/projects intertwined. (1) Digital and media literacy: Continuing its 28-year tradition, CTC Rijeka is organizing IT and media courses and workshops for children, youth, adults, teachers and elderly people while offering every client an individual approach. Newly acquired knowledge and skills in ICT and media enable our users to develop in fields which the formal education system in Croatia neglects, such as coding, robotics, video, mobile apps development, web design, e-journalism, 3D modelling and printing, media literacy, etc.
Every year CTC Rijeka educates more than 1.000 people in ICT and media skills. CTC Rijeka is one of the coordinators of National coalition for digital jobs "Digital agenda for Creative Croatia", partners in eSkills for Jobs campaign in Croatia and a member of All Digital network, Croatian Informatics Clubs Association, Croatian Robotics Association, coordinator of All digital week in Croatia and Media Literacy Days in Rijeka. (2) Eco-social economy: CTC Rijeka is actively participating in the creation of a network of regional resource centres for social enterprises encompassing the areas of Primorje-Gorski kotar County and Istria County. Next important pillar is to become a national centre for social technopreneurship. (3) Social inclusion: One of the most important segments of CTC Rijeka’s work is to connect the use of new technologies with creation of opportunities for socially marginalized groups. Socialization of differently excluded people and creation of society, which understands, accepts and creates equal opportunities for its citizens, is a main goal in creation and realization of all CTC Rijeka’s projects.
CTC Rijeka includes different social groups in the projects, such as people with disabilities, retired people, people of lower financial status, unemployed people (women, men and youth) and/or people without work experience, NEETs and everyone who is in some way excluded from the society and labour market. Important area of activity is Local partnership for Employment in Primorje-Gorski kotar County. (4) Community development: Through the community development program, CTC Rijeka has been trying to contribute to the development of civil society in the region by empowering citizens to become active participants. That is being achieved by strengthening their competences by using new and innovative technologies. CTC Rijeka’s employees encourage volunteer work, active participation, partnership and inter-sector cooperation, and are especially active in the field of culture through project implementation and cooperation with various partners and associates.
At the moment, Centre has 12 employees and 6 long-term volunteers who are actively engaged in projects and programs. Centre is recognized as a successful and engaged organization in the local community.
