A better lifestyle for all citizens, specially our EU seniors. As a result of the ever-increasing digitalization, a gap has arisen with certain population groups (lonely people, asylum seekers, seniors) who are at risk of falling by the wayside. With the help of simple and easy to use tutorials, leaflets and videos reach as many people as possible who can make good use of it. The visit to our website and the number of views of our videos on YouTube (some over 6600 views) prove this success to the fullest. Our goal was to provide assistance on a simple and useable way, to all those people who are having difficulties with digitalization. In addition, we also wanted to do something about avoid food waste, a better life through healthy food, better health. By planning and putting the skills of some specialists of our partner members to good use, we have fully succeeded in our objectives, even more then hoped for. The possibility of having specialists at our disposal brought the meetings to a higher scientific level. Very beneficial for us to achieve our goal, but to set it up in such way for the widest possible audience, simple, clear language and accessible to everyone.
From previous collaborations in Erasmus+ projects (European Seniors Exchange, Remake the Story) we had established that certain population groups were falling by the wayside with increasing digitalization. We had already established this ourselves during our lessons to seniors in Ghent. A cooperation agreement was quickly found with a partner in Slovenia and Italy. With this project the three partners encouraged learning for adults and improved the accessibility of adult education. (35 persons in de EU, older then 75 have no access to digital modes or knowledge). In addition, all partners were also interested and competent in the themes of health, food and a better environment. That was the main reason for submitting our project and supporting our citizens in the digital revolution that was coming their way with simple and easily useable information (Tutorials, leaflets, videos). Participating in the digital society is not just one app or program. It's a stairway that, with the right help, lead to a great view of possibilities in our social society. Upgrade the digital skills and competencies, upgrade the green skills, upgrade the healthy digitalization, physical and mental. We worked out also a healthy part.
