Digital skills training should be available in minority languages or by using multilingual teaching methods as appropriate depending on the level of education and specific education context. Where relevant, bilateral agreements regarding digital learning resources and the exchange of qualified instructors might be concluded with other countries.146 States may also wish to consider joining international efforts to promote open-source software, open data and open content in accordance with international standards and best practices.147 In multilingual border regions, where geo-blocking practices may result in limiting access to content in minority languages, States should seek to prevent or at least mitigate such practices to support digital inclusion.148 States should recognize the importance of minority language digital applications and online content, as well as intercultural content, in their digital inclusion strategies and promote measures to overcome barriers to their development, access and use. Such measures should be developed with the participation of persons belonging to national minorities and should enhance the availability, accessibility, prominence and findability of applications and content produced by and for minorities and in minority languages.149 States should consider providing support for digital creators who are persons belonging to national minorities; for example, via public funding, copyright enforcement and monetization schemes.150 As digital technology continues to evolve in unforeseen ways, States should take into account the needs and interests of persons belonging to national minorities and continue to actively promote their digital inclusion. 146 147 148 149 150 54 See: Ljubljana Guidelines, Guideline 45; and Bolzano/Bozen Recommendations, Recommendation 18.
