Session teaser

Daily activities and access to different services imply a necessity of “getting connected” and “staying connected” for digital migrants.Digital transformation often causes confusion and challenges for adults even though many of them manage digital technology tools. Capacity building on digital literacy and digital skills for adults is not just a task of their family or social environment but implies raising awareness and a multistakeholder in the process of digital skills transfer.

Keywords

digital migrants, digital skills transfer, digital inclusion, lifelong learning

Session description

In the “global digital village” digital migrants and digital natives have to adapt to the challenges of digital transformation. Daily basic tasks depend on digital ability and digital readiness of digital migrants.

A broader definition of digital inclusion refers to ensure equal access to skills to use Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and benefits from participation and knowledge. Opposed to digital inclusion, digital exclusion prevents digital migrants to fully take advantage from the use of digital tools. Digital migrants and digital natives are digital citizens whom normally share the same house, the same office or any other random space which can(not) be digital friendly especially for digital migrants. In order to overcome barriers that nourish digital exclusion, digital literacy and digital skills for digital migrants are essential.

The aim of this session is to discuss how digital inclusion for seniors can be more “inclusive” and how to create a model of digital friendly citizenship environments that can break the wall between these generations. If digital literacy and skills are considered crucial, how they can contribute to the process of lifelong learning for digital migrants. Best practices will be shared from a European context taking into consideration local developments in Georgia and the Caucasus Region.

Format

Introductory panel followed by table discussions in smaller groups.
