I would like to share the social initiative success in Latvia for senior learners - Senior University online lessons that we started just after the first Covid19 restrictions in April 2020. 
Senior learners are quite often lacking the ICT skills and for them digital transition is a huge challenge. But we managed to convert to online training almost all Senior University validators - 85 senior learners in three cities of Latvia. These adult learners are doing the validation of training content and third age university model in Latvia led by NGO Project Net since October 2019. The initial number of learners is small as we started this idea in order to test interest of target group based on the global third age universities network RUTIS coordinated by Portuguese colleagues. 
Now online learning is our daily life and seniors even make fun that they are teaching own family members how to connect to classes/ seminars/ webinars! We are proud about Latvia seniors - they learn online  and will be digitally included at least in educations activities!

Thank you Iveta for sharing your experience and the incredible willpower of older learners in Latvia!
It's funny to know that they are now their family's digital guides :)

...and thanks for sharing the links which show many inspiring ideas to be duplicated also in other parts of Europe.

Check out the blog article of Tino Boubaris, my fellow EPALE ambassador in Germany, on digital education for older persons.


It shows that digital education has not only the effect of upskilling persons of age for the demands of now and tomorrow, but helps them to overcome isolation.
