Training Experience in ICT from a Gender Perspective

Abstract

This article is based on the project: “ICT as a tool of empowerment for the group of older women”,
that has consisted of a series of workshops on basic computer skills targeted to a group of women
whose ages are between 50 and 70 years, of the Municipality of Pamplona (Norte de Santander
Colombia). By using a qualitative methodological paradigm we intended to train older women
participating in the project of using ICT as a tool of empowerment and knowledge construction
through the recovery of memory. The results have been a significant change of discourse regarding
the self-concept of them and editing a document in digital and paper format that recompiles and
saves the history of women in the municipality and its participation in economic and cultural
development of the municipality.
