About the volunteering opportunity
A group of interested senior citizens currently meets every Wednesday at the Nachbarschaftstreff in Cologne-Buchforst. Tables and seating, technical equipment (large mobile screen, own smartphones / notebooks) and a kitchen are available and can be shared.
Your Tasks
We are looking for you to support a group of 5-12 senior citizens in dealing with smartphones, the Internet, PCs and the like. The main aim is to clarify questions and concerns of the participants and to guide the group in a structured way.
This can take part in form of a "digital consultation hour" (1-to-1), interactively with the entire group or as a mixed format - depending on your preference and the wishes of the participants. It is important that you are well versed in digital topics and can convey content in a low-threshold and age-sensitive way. Of course, you should not neglect to have fun and exchange ideas on an equal footing.
Details regarding availability and remuneration can be discussed with the network coordinator if you are interested.
If you are interested and would like to volunteer, please get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you!
