The government launched, on Tuesday, the National Council for Digital Refoundation, precisely supposed to strengthen and facilitate support for the digital transition, which has become a democratic issue.
Jean-Noël Barrot had his work cut out this Tuesday, November 22. The new Minister Delegate in charge of the Digital Transition and Telecommunications was accompanied by François Bayrou, Secretary General of the National Council for Refoundation and High Commissioner for Planning, to launch the digital CNR. An approach that should make it possible to reflect on the way in which digital technology transforms daily life. But what will this consultation exercise actually be used for?
Involve the French in the work process, so that digital technology is no longer a factor of exclusion
The digital component of the National Refoundation Council has now come to life. ” The CNR Numérique is a method that will allow the direct association of organized civil society and the French “, promises Minister Jean-Noël Barrot.
It must be said that today, digital is still a source of insecurity and complexity in the eyes of a certain number of French people. Many of them suffer from it as a factor of exclusion, when they find themselves far from basic uses, because of their social status, their geographical location or their age.
The objective of this Digital CNR is clear: build concrete solutions together to protect, support and integrate all French people in the ongoing digital transition “explains the Minister. Rather move from a somewhat historical logic of “saying” to a logic of “doing”.
The fight against online violence, digital at work and inclusion on the menu of the CNR
To get off to a flying start, three themes were discussed with the 120 participants present, who are also both elected officials and experts in new technologies, including representatives of civil society, the private sector and the world. associative.
Digital inclusion, the digital transition in daily work and the fight against online violence (more generally the challenges of calming the digital space) were discussed on the sidelines of this CNR. ” France has many assets to promote in the digital sector, our society must also ensure that no French are left behind in this transition. “, recalled Mr. Barrot.
From now on, the CNR Numérique must identify actions and solutions, with its representatives as well as with the French who will participate online or during local consultations on a voluntary basis, who will have to work on a method intended to move the country forward. The major objective of this consultation and these discussions remains to come up with a concrete list of proposals based on the three issues identified.
