An “inverted” lesson is dedicated to completing the on-line questionnaire for the 15th Census of Population and Housing: the elders are the students, while the students help them to use PCs and the Internet.
The initiative, promoted by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale, aims to help elders complete the on-line census questionnaire. In Italy, over-sixty-fives represent more than 20% of the population. The initiative involves all the protagonists of the Grandparents on the Internet Programme, a digital literacy course that the FMD organizes throughout Italy for elders to increase the resources of elders and intergenerational dialogue.
