ABSTRACT<\/strong>
The paper deals with the field of developing
communication-digital literacy with the help of the lifelong
learning model “GigInGreen” for all layers of modern
society, including people with special needs. The aim of the
authors is a targeted search for new solutions in the field of
using digital learning and communication tools for the
development of digital competences in the light of “Society
5.0″. We focus on a unique way of connecting paradigms
such as: inclusive society, competences, digital, special
needs, literacy and lifelong learning. We want to connect
the thinking about communicative ability, an indispensable
part of which is an individual’s digital literacy and point out
that the circumstances of living in a modern, but still
partially exclusive society, limit the development of an
individual’s communicative-digital literacy due to a
demonstrated special need or disability. We start from the
concept of a special example of good practice of lifelong
education and learning of green and digital logistics and
supply chains for all social groups, which we designed and
developed at the Faculty of Logistics of the University of
Maribor as part of the NOO project “DigInGreen”. We
believe that the activities we carry out are a unique
example of good practice, because they connect many
scientific disciplines and fields into a modern concept of
competence development without excluding or
conditioning the end user. We combine the paradigms of
logistics, informatics, statistics, social studies, linguistics
and didactics. All the above and more represent the
concept of “Society 5.0”, which cannot exist as a scientific
construct if it does not consider the key aspect of one’s own
identification – social equality and the provision of equal
opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
