A total of 20 pensioners from Romania and Hungary took part in the free training, aimed at helping seniors navigate our rapidly evolving and increasingly digitalized world through instructional videos. This workshop was the second in a series of training sessions that started in July, involving twelve local pensioners and eight members of the Retirees’ Civic Association from Gyula (Hungary). Similar to the previous session, the main topics covered were the effective and safe use of digital devices, avoiding phone and online scams, verifying information and news, credit card use, online shopping and payments, and other practical issues related to digital technologies. These topics were explored over the three-day meeting through professional presentations, round-table discussions and instructional videos, with important feedback from participants.
his is a key aspect of the project, as the feedback will be used to adapt the videos to the needs of the target group and to improve or modify them if necessary to effectively serve the learning objectives. In addition to joint learning, the meeting also included time for socialising, sightseeing, a history of the city and a visit to the local thermal spa. The workshop, organised on the first weekend of August, is part of the “Click it until you make it!” small-scale strategic project, organised by the Ér Hangja Association in partnership with the Premier Vocational Art High School and Elementary Art School funded by the Erasmus+ KA210-ADU – Small-scale Partnerships in Adult Education program.
