Abstract
The objective of the present study was to reflect on psychosocial intervention programs for the development of digital skills aimed at kids between the seventh and tenth grade of schooling in situations of post-pandemic vulnerability. The research methodology was non-experimental, documentary, descriptive, and reflective. The information was collected from multinational organisms and scientific articles from indexed magazines and web platforms. Obtained results indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic aggravated the vulnerability conditions in children living in multidimensional poverty conditions. For this reason, international organisms—UN, World Bank, ILO—have proposed the creation of programs that promote resilience among the vulnerable population, based on the use of virtual platforms. In this context, this investigation proposes the implementation of psychosocial intervention programs for the development of digital skills aimed at kids in situations of post-pandemic vulnerability.
