Earlier this year, we launched a program in Germany to encourage senior citizens to go online. After spending quality time talking individually with over 800 senior citizens about how older people like to use the Internet, we ran a competition called “We’ll show you! The beautiful sides of the Internet” , together with our partners Deutschland sicher im Netz (Germany Safe Online) and BAGSO (the Federal Association of Senior Citizens’ Organisations). the best entrants in three categories - Experience Report, Video and Website - and also gave a special award to three friends who meet online to share presentations and research via online video chat. like senior citizens in the UK , they wanted to see more attention paid to developing online services that enhance social inclusion and improve care for the elderly.
