The OEB Boardroom BRD01

Are Senior Citizens Forgotten in Social Media? A Knowledge Exchange on e-Inclusion Practices

Date Thursday, Dec 1  Time   –    Room Zille

More and more seniors need to use and are interested in using social media and technology. What content, methods and techniques do they prefer to improve digital skills? This boardroom will focus on their needs, and on how we can ensure citizens young and old will be included in our digital age.

Topics that will be discussed cover questions such as: how are elderly people seen in social media in different countries? What are problems if a large part of elderly citizens do not use social media? How can NGOs support this group better? And how can educators support peer-to-peer learning for this group? Can digital games be appropriate motivational tools?
