CONTRIBUTION TO ACCESS
The Research Association for Gerontology at TU Dortmund University with the associated Institute of Gerontology is a research center that focuses on social-gerontological questions against the background of an ageing society. It concentrates on applied research, including policy consulting and evaluation of model programs in the field of social gerontology and social policy.
In the ACCESS project we coordinate WP1 in which we aim to “map the landscape†of opportunities for older people to acquire digital competencies. In WP4 we will explore how we can motivate those with no or very low internet skills on the local and life-world level to participate in internet skill courses. Finally we will conduct cost-benefit analysis for different learning models in WP 8.
Our main aim is to achieve a “mapping†of older peoples learning opportunities regarding digital literacy in Europe and develop strategies and measures how to reach out to those with only little or even none technical and digital skills.
