“We have some wonderful grandparents who come to our laboratories every Tuesday afternoon to learn how to use a computer. Our students volunteer to help them with their computer skills and show that they are competent, determined and very kind to these elders. They show that there is a civic spirit in school,” says Marco Moro, the coordinating teacher for Grandparents on the Internet, the project promoted by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale. The project was launched at Itis Marconi in Civitavecchia last November.
Besides bringing the elders back to school and making the students teachers, the course has also provided a great sense of vicinity amongst different generations: “an authentic perspective of emancipation and progress,” the professor concludes.
