Photography is often a discovery, or rediscovery, of old age. Old photos withhold indelible memories that need to be remedied through permanent, infallible and high definition media.

The first senior citizens specialised in the processing of images and graphics may earn their certificate from this art institute in Rieti. They will be accompanied in this process by students with multimedia experience, who have studied and applied these new technologies in the institute’s computer labs. In weekly appointments for a total of 30 hours, these tutors will teach their elderly students not only the abc of PCs, but also how to navigate the Internet, communicate via e-mail and use the on-line services of the public administrations.

The presentation of the Grandparents on the Internet Project will be held on November 4, 2008 at 10.30 am at the Calcagnadoro Art Institute (via Palmiro Togliatti snc, Rieti).
