E-Seniors aims at fighting against e-exclusion by providing access to and training in ICT to seniors and/or disabled people.
Our objectives are:
• bridging and shrinking the digital gap between generations;
• caring for elders by fighting against senior isolation;
• opening new horizons for efficient use of free time
Through its activities, E-Seniors promotes:
• Active aging
• Fighting the segregation of seniors
• Facilitating longer life in their own homes
• Intergenerational communication
• Solutions development & applications
Since its creation, 5 years ago, E-Seniors has provided ICT related activities for seniors in various public locations. We are constantly opening new locations in order to provide a “proximity” service which takes into account the rhythm, interests and needs of our target population.
Besides teaching “basic computer skills”, we have opened more thematically-oriented workshops for “advanced” students, dealing with, for example, digital images and sounds, interactive messaging and chat, “writing memories” and meetings dealing with the fight against e-exclusion.
E-Seniors proposes also interactive gaming activities in retirement homes, day-care centers .
E-Seniors proposes its services in users’ validation involving and accompanying the prospect users and the project from its start to the final application phase (possibility to lead lead users’ validation activities).
