PIKSL promotes digital participation and inclusion for people with little internet usage experience. Through educational offerings, PIKSL labs, and barrier-free services, PIKSL enables self-determined action in the digital world and creates inclusive meeting spaces.
PIKSL, which stands for "Person-Centered Interaction and Communication for More Self-Determination in Life," is dedicated to empowering people with little or no internet usage experience to navigate the digital world independently and competently. The initiative, founded by In der Gemeinde Leben gGmbH in Düsseldorf, focuses on creating an inclusive and barrier-free access to the digital world for all interested individuals[2][3][5].
PIKSL does not see disability as an obstacle but as a core competency. The initiative places great importance on the involvement of the target group in the development of educational offerings and promotes a culture of inclusion and shared learning. By simplifying complex technologies and empowering users to deal with the remaining complexity, PIKSL makes an important contribution to digital participation and social integration[1][3][5].
