After the over-sixties in Ascoli, who completed the Grandparents on the Internet at the Post Office course, today the course will end in Mantua, too. The pilot project is promoted by Poste Italiane in post offices in six Italian cities: Ascoli, Asti, Mantua, Naples, Palermo and Rome.
The fifteenth lesson ends the custom-tailored course dedicated to elders that never used a computer or the Internet before.
The elders were coached by tutors from the IIS Enrico Fermi School directed by Headmaster Cristina Bonaglia. The course activities were coordinated by Professors Paolo Pelizzoni and Massimiliano Ferro.
Interviewed by Cecilia Stajano at the beginning of the course, Cristina Bonaglia explained why she chose to join Grandparents on the Internet at the Post Office.

Grandparents on the Internet at the Post Office was conceived to help elders navigate the web and learn more about new communication technology. Poste Italiane opted for the Grandparents on the Internet Model developed by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale to promote its digital literacy pilot project in post offices around the country [see news "Grandparents at Post Offices"].
