Project Digi-skills
Social meaning:
Last 10 years we are facing a leap of technology that very quickly came into many aspects of daily life (banks, medical services, internet of things, social media, mobile apps etc.)
The big obstacle is also the fact that the low digital literacy is not only among the elderly people but also personnel and volunteers working with them.
In order to enhance studying and promote digital interaction is crucial to understand the language and terminology of digital community which is quite challenging task even using mother tongue (browser, application, installation, update etc) and became especially frustrating for elderly people of other culture.
