Project “Grandparents On-line. Everyone’s Young at the Post Office” kicks off in Veneto. Today, the first lesson will be held at IIS Vito Volterra in San Donà di Piave, part of the metropolitan city of Venice.
Over-sixty-five citizens will be welcomed by Headmaster Maria Teresa Gobbi. The courses will be coordinated by Caterina Fregonese (Assistant to the Principal) and Giorgio Portesan.
Tomorrow, the course will begin in Treviso at IIS Riccati-Luzzati, managed by Headmaster Luisa Mattana. The student-tutors will be coordinated by professors Caterina Tufariello and Michele Gambardella.
In all the schools, the lessons will be held by student-tutors – one for each elder - coordinated by a professor. The students will provide their elder counterparts with the skills necessary to gainfully use new technology.
This digital literacy programmes underlines the commitment of Poste Italiane and the Fondazione Mondo Digitale to fight social and technological exclusion of over-sixty-five citizens.
