This was followed by a traditional meal at Bourbon College.  In the afternoon the first working meeting took place in the departmental library. This allowed the participants to take stock of the progress of the project, in particular the implementation within the different countries, and in the structures represented. Also participants completed a questionnaire on the digital divide, -as proposed during the grouping of Madeira.  In the evening, the departmental council of Reunion organised a reception in the departmental library.

In particular, the device "digital starter" was presented to us; this training device for the mastery of digital tools, targets an audience of young adults from disadvantaged backgrounds and in particular females.  This software helps to prepare the young adults to return to employment after receiving training for 6 months. After this time, the young people concerned can either obtain a job, or continue towards further training using more specialised qualified computer science.  Then everyone had a meal together on site with the director and trainers. This provided an opportunity to extend the exchanges and develop further links and understanding.  The afternoon was spent visiting the village of Hell-Bourg, and the circus of Salazie (waterfall of the Veil of the Bride). A typical Creole meal was then shared in the "Gadiamb" restaurant.
