The Elderly, the Digital Divide and Citizenship

'The Elderly, the digital divide and citizenship' is a two-days online event for anyone interested in the topics of digital citizenship, inclusion of seniors, policies for the elderly and active ageing.

By joining us on 17-18 June, you will get the chance to:

• explore practical solutions for bridging the digital divide suffered by the elderly, which have been tried and tested by cities such as Marseille, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Genoa, Cluj-Napoca and Varna
• learn about the EU's Green Paper on Ageing
• find out how elderly people experience the processes of digitalization
• hear from EU and local policy-makers, researchers and stakeholders
• ask them a question or share your experience on the topic.

The event will take place online and is free with registration. Registered participants will receive details on how to connect on Zoom a few days before the event.

'The Elderly, the digital divide and citizenship' is brought to you by Altona, a district of Hamburg and the City of Marseille, with the media partnership of TheMayor.EU.

The seminar is the second of six events planned as parts of the EUDIGIT - European Digital Citizens project, funded under Europe for Citizens programme of the European Union.
