The project’s dream is to foster a process of local stakeholders involvement in low cost training activities aimed to develop the adult’s digital literacy levels thus allowing over 55 people to gain full citizenship in the digital society. The basic idea of the G&G initiatives is to let the youngsters train the elders in the basics of internet, e-mail.
The initiative has a strong local characterisation, and implies the involvement and commitment of local stakeholders and sponsors, local schools and students, local elderly citizens. The objectives of the training are very simple: basic internet browsing, basic email communication, basic access to on-line services provided by local institutions/companies.
The training seminars carried out by the "grandchildren" are very short and made on a one-to-one (one grandchild tutors one grandparent); further activities of self training carried out by the "grandparents" in the laboratories are foreseen to allow the elderly to learn by doing at their own pace.
