EDEM is actively participating in the Grundtvig Project with subject 'How young technological women can do network with women 50+ (ΤΥΝΕΤ 50+)' which is at its final stage. The difficulties of women 50+ to get familiar with new communication technologies (e-mail, internet, skype, facebook, mobile phones etc) are studied through this project. These could be on one hand because they do not have the necessary technological background and on the other hand because they don’t feel easy with technology or they don’t have easy access due to prejudices and stereotypes.
Aimof the project, which takes place in 7 European countries, by the European network WiTEC (www.witec-eu.net), is to build in each country, a group of young women, with the technological knowhow, who, during the project, will be skilled with additional abilities a) to teach women 50+ who belong to special groups: they do not have access to new technologies, they are poor, they are not educated, they are ‘social excluded’ (minorities, emigrants etc.) b) to transfer they necessary knowledge in a simple way in order that women 50+ can develop the basic skills to use new technologies.
The project was structured according four thematic Workshops, with the participation of partners’ representatives and of women –young ones with technological specialization and older ones without any technological skills.
