On days 8-13 December in Katowice took place third working study visit implemented as part of the project „New Senior”-adult education, Erasmus+. It was not a presentation meeting, but intensive and creative work on educational materials for senior citizens.
Practical solutions for seniors
During the visit:
- we worked on how educational materials should be designed to be readable, understandable and senior-friendly,
- We analysed the form, language and visual layer of the materials,
- we developed a prototype of an information leaflet on „How to use the Internet safely”,
- we have prepared content on the safe use of the Internet by seniors.
Materials have been designed in a practical manner - so that staff working with seniors can use them immediately in classes, workshops and meetings.
The project also included intercultural workshops, which were an important and valuable part of the visit. It was a time of very good working together, sharing experiences, creating inspiring material and building relationships.
Cooperation, relationships and positive emotions
The visit brought a lot of positive emotions, which participants - seniors from Ostrava and seniors from Katowic - They took home with them. The meeting demonstrated the power of cooperation, openness and joint action across borders.
The event was also attended by representatives of the City of Katowice, including:
- Aleksandra Musiał - Plenipotentiary for Seniors in Katowice,
- Tadeusz Oczko - Chairman of the Council of Senior Citizens of the City of Katowice,
- members Council of Senior Citizens of the City of Katowice.
Participants of the meeting were thanked, given Christmas gifts and wished by the Maciej Stachura - Deputy Mayor of the City of Katowice.
A collective step towards digital confidence for seniors
This working visit was an important step in developing tools that provide real support for seniors in navigating the digital world - without fear, complicated language or unnecessary theory.
We would like to thank all participants, partners and those involved in the visit for their active participation, openness and joint work.
