Association Belgrade in motion is preparing a digital training strategy for older citizens and they are appealing to the City to join them
Citizens' Association "Belgrade on the Move" is preparing a digital training strategy for older fellow citizens, they are doing what the City and its institutions should be doing.
According to the latest census, only 38,9 percent of the population in Serbia use a mobile phone and a computer. It is not known how many of the 1,700.000 pensioners are digitally literate, but it can be assumed that this percentage is very small.
Belgrade on the move is in the phase of developing a pilot project that will take place in several local communities where pensioners will be able to attend workshops for digital training.
This kind of training would enable them to pay bills and order medicine online, which would save them from waiting in lines.
According to the knowledge of the association Belgrade in motion, this type of training is currently held only in gerontological centers and in certain pensioner associations, but such groups are few in number.
That is why they are appealing for digital training for the elderly to be launched at the City level.
The point of this initiative of theirs is that older citizens are not socially excluded, and in this context they cite the examples of China and Japan.
"Our elderly fellow citizens deserve to be a part of modern life." Many of them feel isolated because they have not had the opportunity to master the digital skills that are necessary today. This is a question of the dignity and rights of our elderly fellow citizens. The city of Belgrade has an obligation to provide them with support and enable them to feel like equal members of society," the organization says," the association Belgrade on the Move says.
