Digital participation for people 65+
For over 13 years we have offered digital and in-person discussion groups — ‘Wir versilbern das Netz’ (‘We’re bringing the silver generation online’), the ABCs of smartphones, for people 65+. It's about meeting people, exchange, and learning how to use digital technology, including AI, with plenty of repetition.
What it sets out to do
Maintaining and building contacts through digital participation, without limits
Who it reaches
Nationwide (Germany)
Who runs it

What seems to make it work
More than 42,000 guests aged 65+ in the in-person and digital discussion groups.
Around 3,000 Zoom 'Versilberer' sessions held since 2020.
Having fun is the main focus!!!

Finding accessible venues equipped with WLAN
Finding volunteers.
Demand is so high that we have to turn down many interested people
