Week 9 of Grandparents on the Internet at the Post Office, promoted by Poste Italiane in six pilot cities (Ascoli, Asti, Mantua, Naples, Palermo and Rome) continues.
To date, four cities have ended the fifteen lessons of the first pilot course programme for digital literacy. The courses continue in Asti and Palermo.
Today, the 15th and last lesson will be held in Naples, where the over-sixties are tutored by the Knowledge Volunteers from Scapmpia. Nearly all of them are graduates of the ITIS Galileo Ferraris School. And amongst the tutors there also is Lorenzo Dente, "YouthSpark Star" thanks to Project Meet No Neet.
Lorenzo was interviewed by Rosy D'Elia at the beginning of the course in July:

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"].
