Implemented by | School of grandfathers and grandmothers (Escuela de abuelos y abuelas) of Medina del Campo
PUBLIC SERVICE: the Department of Women, Integration, Equality and Social Housing of the town hall of Medina del Campo and the centre for the elderly ‘Mayorazgo de Montalvo’ |
Competences enhanced and general benefits | Intergenerational exchange of experience, enhancement of knowledge and skills to improve the quality of relationships between youth and elderly, valorization of elderly in society/family. |
Type | Activity Programme Workshop |
Target groups involved | SENIORS: people over 60 years of age YOUTH: No age range indicated for the young participants |
Description | This initiative seeks to enhance the integration of the elderly within society (prevention of social/family isolation). So far, the only workshop developed (with start in November 2021) is “Use of the mobile phone for daily life and communication with the family”. It aims at the improvement of the digital skills of adults and the elderly (more specifically, the ability to use mobile phones), the improvement of the personal independence of the elderly through the use of mobile phones and the minimization of the digital divide between grandchildren and grandparents. |
Materials and Human Resources | These activities must be hosted in a place with desks, internet connection, and IT material (computers and/or phones and/or tablets, also a white/blackboard if the workshop format so requires). |
Advice | Specifically concerning the workshop on the use of the mobile phone for daily life and communication with the family: • prior identification of the apps/types of phones the elderly are likely to use and need in their daily life • a supervisor should be appointed to help facilitate communication between youth and elderly (technical vocabulary, identification of sub-steps elderly need in order to understand how to execute a specific action) |
Key Stakeholders | Town hall departments in charge of social inclusion, (primary/secondary) schools, centres for the elderly, local cultural centres |
Application Level | Organizational Local National Regional |
Resources | The City Council of Medina del Campo launches the ‘School for grandparents and grandmothers’ |
