Intergenerational Exchange & Mentorship for Digital Inclusion

In today’s rapidly changing digital world, the ability to use technology has gained increased importance. With many public services now available online, and many more are being digitised, it is clear that not everyone has the same chances or skills to use them. In particular, seniors and older people often face more challenges as they transition to digital-only use of services and tools. 

Event details

This event is online and takes place on 23 April 2025 from 10:00 to 12:00 EET.
