"We stay close" to the students and teachers of Anafi
  • The pandemic has highlighted the critical role of connectivity. This is also the reason why it is important to have national infrastructures that ensure it in order to speed up the bridging of the digital divide. When there is no infrastructure, there is no connectivity and inequalities are created.
  • WIND to live up to its long-standing commitment to provide equal digital access to everyone regardless of where they live, so that inequalities are not created between those who have a connection and those who do not.
