- Increase the digital skills of senior citizens through the creation of digital content that they themselves designed and created/- Promote the heritage, culture and history of areas at risk of depopulation by designing accessible digital resources and/- Participate in the digital transformation of the tourism sector with the creation of a guide. Senior citizens improved their level of knowledge of new technologies, which made them citizens with greater autonomy in 21st century Europe. The production of videos that can be accessed through a QR code contributes to placing Rural Europe on the map, achieving a call effect on tourists, which is what this novel initiative achieved, while also attracting the inhabitants of these areas, attracted by the curiosity of seeing how their neighbours explain their own tourist resources. The heritage, culture and history of places at risk of depopulation have been promoted. Our rich and unknown heritage is valued by EU citizens. This allowed us to participate in the digital transformation of the tourism sector with the creation of a methodological guide, which is vital for the revitalization of these areas.
Europe is facing a harsh reality: it is ageing. According to the 2018 Ageing Report (published in May 2018), in 1950 only 12% of the European population was over 65 years old. In 2050, this figure will be more than 36%. In the 56-70 age group, internet access levels drop to 29%, and in the 71-80 age group, to 5%. The project consisted of the elderly in our towns, located in depopulated areas and who have become part of what we all know as empty Europe (another great challenge facing us) creating videos in which they explained the heritage of the place. These videos are on a common open-access platform. A QR code was placed in the places described in the videos so that both visitors and residents of these municipalities can see and enjoy them. It has been an excellent way to involve all citizens in the project and the environment of the "protagonists" have wanted to be part of it, creating an enormous inner wealth, which has an incalculable value. The degree of satisfaction of all the people who participated in the project has greatly compensated for all the work carried out.
