International Project "ict50+"

The aim of the European learning partnership "Information and communication technology empowerment for fifty-year-olds +", "ict50+" for short, is to develop and test methods and didactics for the (re)design of courses to empower those aged 50 + to use information and communication technology as a way of gaining greater control over the factors that influence their lives.

In particular, the idea is to:

• Share guides, practices, techniques and any relevant documentation.
  
  
• Share approaches to stimulate ICT interest among seniors.
  
  
• Develop courses that empower seniors to use the Internet for the purposes they choose; like health promotion, language, culture or leisure time activities and to promote cross-cultural communication 
  
  
• Design gendered IT courses for women and men 
  
  
• Encourage social interaction and inclusion among seniors
  

This project is being supported by the European Community within the SOKRATES programme by a funding for a GRUNDTVIG project. The whole resposibility for the content is with the partners of the project alone. The project does not in any way reflect the opinion of the European Commission.
