Enhancing Digital Inclusion of Older Adults: A Nordplus Collaborative Success

Our Nordplus project, focused on developing and disseminating good practices in digital competencies for seniors, has resulted in significant outcomes with far-reaching impact. The primary goal was to address the diverse needs of older adults in digital environments, a target group often overlooked in the rapid pace of technological advancement. We successfully compiled a comprehensive collection of good practices, focused on effective digital skills training for seniors. This collection, developed through international collaboration, reflects the varied educational strategies of partner organizations and have been translated into Finnish, Swedish, Lithuanian, and Norwegian ensuring wider reach and applicability.

All good practices and project outcomes are published on the user-friendly and open-access platform. This platform requires no registration, ensuring easy access for educators, NGOs, and other stakeholders. Furthermore, a creative social media material bank including visual images demonstrating the good practices, has been established. This initiative enhances the visibility and dissemination of our findings and results.

During the project, we have fostered a network of collaboration across the Nordics and Baltics, building and strengthening ties between educational institutions and organizations. All participants and partner organizations involved in the project have gained valuable competencies and skills in developing and implementing digital training programs. Furthermore, the project successfully targeted and reached an array of distinct stakeholders, achieving comprehensive outreach and impact across diverse levels.

This Nordplus project has not only achieved its objectives but has also set a benchmark in the field of digital education and training for seniors in the Nordic and Baltics. The collaborative nature of the project, combined with the practical and accessible outcomes, ensures our work will continue to benefit seniors and educators after the project as well.
