That's How You Make a Call

Bridging the Mobile Literacy Gap

Young people are very handy at using their mobile phones. With the greatest ease they download all sorts of files and pass them on to their friends via MMS, Bluetooth or the Internet. They know all kinds of shortcuts and use their own special MSN language.

If you want to keep up with those kids, you can now do so! In the energetic workshops of ‘That's How You Make a Call’, vocational students pass on their knacks and skilful knowledge of mobile phones.

That is how you make a call is a social enterprise. It was initiated by Buzzz and JINC. Dutch Telecom KPN facilitated the content of the workshop.

‘That's How You Make a Call’ helps vocational students to improve their social skills and raises their self esteem:

            “For once I am smarter than them!”,
