Project Grandparents on the Internet at the Post Office, promoted by the Poste Italiane in post offices in six pilot cities, is currently in its fourth and last week before the summer break.

 

Courses will begin again in September to complete the 15-lesson programme.

 

 The digital literacy lessons were tested by over-sixties in post offices in Ascoli, Asti, Mantua, Naples, Palermo and Rome. Starting in September, the project promoting digital literacy amongst elders will be extended nationally in September.

 

The last lesson before the summer break will be held in the Via Nenni Post Office in Mantua. Over-sixties, guided by their tutors from IIS Enrico Fermi, will participate in the seventh lesson of their digital literacy in 15 meetings. Teachers Paolo Pelizzoni and Massimiliano Ferro coordinated the courses. Initially, most participants aged 62-80, were complete beginners who had never sat down in front of a computer and mouse.

 

Grandparents on the Internet at the “Poste” was conceived to help elders navigate the web and learn more about new communication technology. Poste Italiane opted for the Grandparents on the Internet Model developed by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale to promote its digital literacy pilot project in post offices around the country [see news "Grandparents at Post Offices"].
