Digital ambassadors for people aged 50+

Since the beginning of the pandemic, exchanges with friends and family, further education and participation in cultural life have mostly taken place digitally.

But not everyone finds the step into the digital world with all its challenges easy.

We are looking for digital ambassadors of all ages who have patience and enjoy helping older people who have had little or no contact with digital media to overcome their fears, awaken their interest and introduce them to the advantages of tablets, smartphones and similar devices.

Your Tasks

This can be achieved, for example, through 1:1 sponsorship, small group training, smartphone and tablet meetings, digital regulars' tables or by linking up with existing offers in the area.

Do you feel addressed? We look forward to hearing from you!
