Supported by €2.6 million funding from Diageo Ireland , the Diageo Liberties Learning Initiative (DLLI) is the vehicle through which The Digital Hub delivers its strategy for educational provision. As well as providing state of the art digital education initiatives to the local schools and wider community, DLLI reflects the national priorities of building a knowledge-based society and addressing the 'digital divide'.

The Diageo Liberties Learning Initiative is delivering cutting edge programmes in digital media education, while providing policy makers with a tangible test bed for innovative community learning projects.

The Diageo Liberties Learning Initiative aims to equip the people of the Liberties, both young and old, with the tools to meet the digital challenges of this century. To do this, DLLI has four main components: Schools; Community, Enterprise Learning; Showcasing.

The Digital Hub is an Irish Government initiative to create an international digital enterprise centre in the heart of Dublin city. Although essentially an enterprise project, The Digital Hub is also an urban regeneration project, and has a specific community and education remit.

Other partners on the project to date include 16 local primary and post primary schools, the National Centre for Technology in Education (NCTE, Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT), Media Lab Europe, Hewlett Packard, Smart Telecom, Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT), the Department of Education & Science and the National College of Art and Design (NCAD).
