As part of the SILWERS project, the University of Akureyri organised a workshop for educators on 10 October 2025, focusing on how to effectively teach older adults about artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. The aim of the session was to strengthen the skills of those working in adult education and to equip them with the tools and confidence needed to engage older learners in the rapidly changing digital world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the workshop, participants jointly analysed the teaching challenges associated with introducing AI topics to a group of older adults, including the need for simple language, a relaxed pace and methods that encourage active participation. They also discussed inclusive teaching strategies that help older people overcome barriers and build a sense of agency in using new technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A key element of the meeting was the presentation and discussion of the draft educational materials being developed as part of the project. The workshop created a space for open dialogue between educators, resource developers and digital experts, making it possible to assess whether the content is sufficiently accessible, relevant and easy to adapt to different educational settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This collaborative, practical meeting was an important step in the preparation of a training pack for educators, which will form part of the SILWERS Knowledge & Action Pack. Thanks to the feedback gathered and the exchange of experiences, the project can better tailor the final materials to the real needs of those teaching older people and enhance their usefulness in day-to-day educational work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
