    IX JORNADA PROFESIONAL DE LA RED DE BIBLIOTECAS DEL INSTITUTO CERVANTES: Bibliotecas y empoderamiento digital. MADRID, 14 de diciembre 2016 “Proyecto Conectados y seguros”: una nueva línea de trabajo en la RBIC. Ana Roca Gadea1 (Instituto Cervantes) Spanish abstract Consideradas por los ciudadanos como lugares seguros y confiables, las bibliotecas no cesan de ampliar el rol que desempeñan en el seno de sus comunidades. Fomentar el empoderamiento digital (la capacidad de utilizar la tecnología para introducir cambios positivos en las vidas de personas y colectivos) se ha convertido en un aspecto central dentro de la labor de las bibliotecas de apoyar la educación a lo largo de la vida. La biblioteca del Instituto Cervantes de Atenas organizó entre 2013 y 2016 algunas iniciativas de capacitación digital, entre ellas, el Proyecto Conectados y Seguros, en colaboración con la Fundación Cibervoluntarios. La Red de Bibliotecas Cervantes se enfrenta actualmente al reto de integrar esta línea de trabajo en el seno de su principal ámbito de actuación, esto es, con la difusión de la lengua y la cultura de los países de habla española. English abstratc Considered by citizens as trusted and safe places, libraries are continuously widening their role within their communities. Promoting digital empowerment (the capacity of using technology to introduce positive changes in the lives of individuals and groups) has become a key aspect in libraries’ role in supporting life-long learning. Between 2013 and 2016, the Instituto Cervantes Library in Athens organized several digital training iniciatives, such as “Safe and Connected Project”, in collaboration with Cibervoluntarios Foundation. Nowadays the Network of Instituto Cervantes Libraries faces the challenge of integrating this line of work within its main course of action, that is the promotion of the language and culture of Spanish speaking countries.
