The Rakiety Oncological Foundation is recruiting for the "E-self-reliance" project co-financed by the "Aktywni+" multi-annual program for the elderly for 2021-2025.
As part of the project, an offer of digital competence courses was developed for 90 people aged 60+ from the Warsaw agglomeration and the former Upper Silesian Metropolitan Association. The courses will be held in Warsaw, Katowice and Chorzów.
We invite seniors who are ready to acquire new and/or improve their existing skills in the field of digital competences to participate in the project, including, above all, operating a computer, smartphone, tablet and using modern tools and technologies, e.g. useful applications to improve the quality of everyday life. People who already have certain digital skills, as well as beginners - those who have not used digital devices before - can participate in the courses. Thanks to the wide spectrum of topics offered in the project, it will be possible to adapt the training to the participant's current level of knowledge and select a package of courses best suited to individual needs, interests and the desired level of knowledge.
