This document discusses the Gaia Global project, which aims to create a "digital city" for the city of Gaia, Portugal. The project seeks to (1) provide digital skills training and resources to citizens, (2) harness people's collaborative abilities through digital tools, and (3) create a digital space to support citizens' daily activities and share information. Rather than being technology-focused, the project prioritizes involving and supporting citizens directly. It plans to take a multichannel approach, using both online and offline media, to maximize inclusion of Gaia's residents.
