What if the path to digital confidence and climate literacy began not in a textbook—but on the starting grid of an electric race

Driving Force is Formula E’s global education programme, created in partnership with PIF E360, that uses the world of all-electric motorsport to ignite curiosity, expand opportunity, and close the gap between ambition and access.

At its core is a challenge we recognise: too many young people are being asked to prepare for the future without the tools to understand it. Driving Force responds with free, high-quality resources designed for learners aged 8 to 18 – delivered through interactive online modules, zero-prep classroom content, and hands-on workshops that meet young people where they are.

From sustainable mobility to clean energy and emerging technologies, the programme connects real-world innovation with practical, inclusive learning. It is not about watching from the sidelines. It is about participation.

At the Digital Poverty Alliance (DPA), we champion programmes that remove barriers and build futures. Driving Force does both – with clarity, purpose, and reach.

Northern Ireland continues to experience the highest levels of digital poverty in the UK.

Staying connected: the digital landline switchover

21/11/2025 15:35:00

Across the UK, the digital landline switchover is no longer a distant policy shift; it is beginning to shape the conversations people are having with neighbours, carers, housing teams, and community organisations.

Policy Brief: Readiness and Risk in the 2G/3G Switch-Off

04/11/2025 16:10:00

The UK’s transition away from 2G and 3G networks represents progress in connectivity – but it also exposes a deep fault line in digital inclusion. As mobile providers retire older networks by 2025, millions of people who rely on 2G- and 3G-enabled phones, telecare systems, and safety devices risk being disconnected from essential communication and support.

Policy Brief: Digital ID

23/10/2025 12:20:00

By 2029, proving your right to work in the UK may no longer mean showing a passport or residence permit. Under government proposals, it could require a digital ID stored on your smartphone. The aim is modernisation: faster checks, fewer barriers, less fraud. Yet for the millions still excluded from the digital world, the shift risks creating a new class of invisibility – one defined not by citizenship, but by connectivity.
