Institut E-Seniors
The association « Institut E-SENIORS » is a non profit organisation aiming to support the development of ICT training for seniors and disabled people. In order to achieve this objective it has chosen the bottom-up approach, giving priority to the needs of its public and proposes solutions which benefit of the synergy between the users, the research professionals and the solution developers.
Main activity of the association is the creation of a network bringing together seniors, autonomous and dependent, as well as their environment such as family, care givers and service providers.
Some important part of our activities include :
- Experimental workshops for active aging while promoting the use of digital technology in general and, more specifically, the development of cognitive and physical games, both in order to improve also for a intergenerational communication
- Creating online networks of participative health including as well patients and professional and family carers
- Teaching the teachers about our know how in terms of organizing activities for active aging
- Creating, leading and animating networking activities to promote the use and the accessibility of ICT for elderly and disabled people in the scientific, medical, industrial and civil society world.
Beyond the common activities described later for partners, E-SENIORS will contribute to the Training curriculum in the themes of ICT and Online tools; execute Pilot training to CSO workers, volunteers; data and analysis collecting from partners and maintaining of the online database of community media and related volunteer organisations.
