In Hekate we’re strongly focusing on the digital aspects of the different areas of life, too. We approach ageing, mental health, work, personal fulfilment, social life and community, and even sustainability through our digital lenses. Why? Because we do live in a digital era that requires us to intentionally and critically reflect on and actContinue reading “Community check – this how well we are digitally”

When a project won’t just end…
We started our DigInclude project 2 years ago. While it’s coming to its official end, we are far from really ending it. It is just impossible not to carry with a different meaning of work – and life, too. It is impossible not to build on all the learnings we experienced, and not to leaveContinue reading “When a project won’t just end…”
Identity, equity, inclusion – a quick personal guide for self-reflection
Identity, equity and inclusion are some of those big concepts that are not the easiest to grasp. We hear these all the time, we might have learned about these in school, we might be given courses about these at our workplaces, yet these might mean something different to each one of us. With this interactive,Continue reading “Identity, equity, inclusion – a quick personal guide for self-reflection”
How to be really inclusive? The learning from an inclusive workshop on inclusivity…
Two weeks ago we led a professional forum with two workshops in Budapest, Hungary. This was for the lovely community of one of our strategic partners, SignCoders, who we are coordinating a 2 years long Erasmus+ project, “DigInclude – Developing Digital Skills in Disadvantaged Groups” with. The topic therefore was given: Digital Inclusion. From the process ofContinue reading “How to be really inclusive? The learning from an inclusive workshop on inclusivity…”
Digital Wellbeing and Digital Inclusion: what’s the connection?

Technology: blessing or curse? 1 question, 5 opinions!
As part of our DigInclude project, we have initiated exciting club discussions, which have now become quite a tradition. Our first discussion was an introduction to the digital society, Artificial Intelligence and the changing world, with the help of four knowledgeable panellists and a moderator. In this article we want to present the general viewContinue reading “Technology: blessing or curse? 1 question, 5 opinions!”
Digital Inclusion – a professional forum in Hungary
As part of our DigInclude project, we are organising a professional forum in Budapest. Our aim is to create dedicated time and space for quality professional discussion, networking, preparing for joint work – in the spirit of inclusion. We will discuss, among other things, whether digitalisation is dividing or bringing us together, and what opportunitiesContinue reading “Digital Inclusion – a professional forum in Hungary”
Conscious Ageing Club – we kicked it off!
Celebration time: last week we successfully kicked off our Conscious Ageing Club with its first English speaking episode (after a couple of episodes in Hungarian)! It’s nice, isn’t it? You might wonder though what our Conscious Ageing Club is exactly, so let us tell you! During one of our projects, co-founded by the European Commission,Continue reading “Conscious Ageing Club – we kicked it off!”
Our free online course on Digital Readiness: Consciously Digital
Although the digital age has been here with us for decades, societies and individuals have taken technology as an eventual alternative. When the Covid 19 pandemic hit, we suddenly had no choice: technology and digital, as only alternatives, ceased to exist and we needed to rely on technology more than ever before. The forced shift to more dynamic digital presence left us no time to really consciously shape how we work, learn, communicate, cooperate and exist as individuals and communities in the online spaces. So the question arises: are we ready?
CONSCIOUSLY DIGITAL
We live in a digital age empowered by technology, with all its benefits and challenges. We are all doing our best to cope with(in) it, but are we READY to thrive? Just like paying attention to what we eat, who we surround ourselves with, how we rest or how we practice sport to increase our quality of life, building and maintaining our digital spaces consciously is a dominant factor when it comes to our and our communities’ needs and satisfaction. Do you also feel the need to stop, reflect and improve?
You probably wonder if you and your target groups are using the right tools to manage the “shadow sides” of Social Media (such as cyber-bullying, digital addiction, info overload); if you effectively cope with the technical challenges (such lack of digital literacy or fake news); or maybe if your on-line community is barrier-free or ethical. It’s never easy to dedicate time to reflect on how to support the needs of the diverse people you work with.
Different organisations, different challenges. We might thrive in some areas and we might struggle in other ones. We are coaches and educators specialised in the digital consciousness. With the CONSCIOUSLY DIGITAL programme we want to create a space for reflecting and building digital consciousness and actions focusing on your organisation’s needs.
