Project Grandparents on the Internet at the Post Office, promoted by the Poste Italiane in post offices in six pilot cities, is currently in its fourth and last week before the summer break. Courses will begin again in September to complete the 15-lesson programme.

Grandparents on the Internet at the “Poste” 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"].
