In May, the University of Economics in Katowice organised a lecture entitled ‘Internet Safety for Senior Citizens’, delivered by Dr Paulina Rutecka as part of the SILWERS project.
Participants from the University of the Third Age at the University of Economics in Katowice learnt about the risks associated with modern technologies and took part in a study led by Dr Karina Cicha and Prof. Artur Strzelecki. The aim of the study was to identify key areas for the safe use of the internet by older people.
As Dr Karina Cicha emphasises:
“We are delighted by the seniors’ openness and their willingness not only to share their observations about the internet, but above all by their interest in the project itself, which they see as an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the technology they want or need to use on a daily basis.”
We would like to thank all participants and invite you to follow the next stages of the SILWERS project!
