The Valencia Department of Innovation, Universities, Science and Digital Society, through the General Directorate for the Fight against the Digital Divide, takes the campaign ‘It is never too late to live better’ to the streets of Alicante.
The Ministry of Innovation aims to strengthen the confidence of citizens in new technologies and demonstrate how innovation and technology can help people of any age to improve their quality of life and integrate into the new digital society.
To do this, tomorrow, 28 December, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., a public action will be held at the bus stop on Avenida Alfonso el Sabio, where they will interact with the elderly who pass near the bus stop, bringing them new technologies and breaking the fears of his initiation in them.
The team of professionals will develop street workshops in which they will teach how to send WhatsApp, how to make video calls or how to create profiles on social networks such as Facebook or Instagram. In this educational and fun way, older people are invited to “take action” and take a first step to connect digitally with their children and grandchildren.
These participatory workshops will take place at the bus stop, set for the occasion, in a cozy way, simulating a living room in any Valencian house.
With this action, the Ministry of Innovation intends to make tools available to older people that allow them to open up to the possibilities that technologies offer them, and allow them to be more autonomous and independent, as the general director has assured for the Fight against the Digital Divide, María Muñoz.
This action complements the video released by the Consell ‘It is never too late to live better’, in which the residents of Beniardá taught how technology helped them improve their quality of life.
