6 regions from souther Italy, 120 digital literacy courses in two years, 8000 over-sixty citizens involved together with 1500 student tutors and 240 coordinating teachers. From Santa Teresa di Gallura (OT) in Sardinia to Sciacca (AG) in Sicily by way of Campania, Puglia, Basilicata and Calabria, the two-year Nonni SUD Internet plan, is promoted by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale in partnership with Auser and Anteas and the support of the Fondazione con il Sud.
Students from a range of different schools and levels, coordinated by new technology teachers, have taught the elderly to use the web and computers.
Now we have grandparents who are enthusiastic about excel and keep all their expenses under control, students who have given up their free afternoons to teach their elders to use PCs and schools that have to continuously open un new courses as the previous ones fill up. It’s a project against scholastic dispersion and social unease, for active ageing and citizenship, lifelong learning and solidarity amongst generations.
These and many other issues will be discussed on April 9, 2013 in Scampia (Na) at 10.30 am at the ITIS G. Ferraris (via Labriola, lotto 2/G).
Besides schools and elderly centers, participants include:
• Carlo Borgomeo, President - Fondazione con il Sud
• Arnaldo Chianese, President - Anteas National Office
• Vincenzo Ciotola, Headmaster - ITIS G. Ferraris, Scampia (Na)
• Vincenzo Costa, President - Auser National Office
• Mirta Michilli, Director General - Fondazione Mondo Digitale
• Alfonso Molina, Professor of Technology Strategy at the University of Edinburgh and Scientific Director of the Fondazione Mondo Digitale
• Patrizia Di Monte, Director General - Arlas (Agency for Work and Education), Campania
