Project “Grandparents On-line. Everyone’s Young at the Post Office” is kicking off throughout Italy. The digital literacy project is promoted by Poste Italiane with the collaboration of the Fondazione Mondo Digitale to teach elders how to use modern communication technology and the Internet.
Today, over-65s return to school in Valle d’Aosta, where they will attend courses at the IIS Innocent Manzetti School, managed by Headmaster Susanna Occhipinti, coordinating professors Federico Agostino and Verthuy, and Cecilia Stajano, School Innovation Manager for the Fondazione Mondo Digitale.
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.
