Objectives

L'objectif du projet SHES était d'offrir des compétences et des connaissances numériques aux seniors, notamment leur apprendre comment utiliser les initiatives de l'économie de partage pour améliorer leur qualité de vie tout en tirant le meilleur parti des Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication (TIC) les plus courants (smartphones, tablettes).

Background

Que peuvent faire les seniors pour face au développement rapide des nouvelles technologies et aux diverses crises économiques ? Comment maintenir un mode de vie similaire avec des revenus plus faibles après la retraite ? Comment ne pas souffrir de l'exclusion numérique? Comment les personnes âgées peuvent-elles rester actives, intégrées, indépendantes, en sécurité, mobiles, connectées afin d'améliorer leur qualité de vie tout en contribuant au bien-être d'autres personnes, de la société et de l'environnement ? Ce sont les besoins identifiés et auxquels le projet SHES s’est efforcé de répondre au cours des deux ans et demi d'activité. Une solution identifiée par le partenariat SHES est l'économie de partage, un modèle économique collaboratif basé sur le partage de biens et de services, gratuit ou payant, généralement par le biais de l'internet, afin de produire des avantages économiques, environnementaux, sociaux et pratiques.
