Last week, Project “Everyone’s Young at the Post Office. Grandparents On-line” brought elders in Catania back to school at IIS G. Marconi, managed by Ugo Pirone. The classroom work is coordinated by Professors Vincenzina Pastore and Michele Montalto.
Today, over-65s in Palermo begin their digital literacy course at IIS Benedetto Croce, the school managed by Headmaster Simonetta Calafiore. The classroom activities are coordinated by Professors Giuseppe Marino (senior collaborator) and Gaetano Benvegna.
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.
