Digital aid for seniors: consultation hour in the old town hall!

Untere Wallbrunnstraße 2, 79539 Lörrach, Deutschland - in Lörrach are invited to a consultation hour of the digital pilot from plus time on Monday, July 21st. From 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., questions about smartphones, laptops and tablets can be asked directly in the old town hall, Untere Wallbrunnstrasse 2. The digital pilots are available to help older people get started with the digital world.

The office hours are part of the city's commitment to expand the offer for older citizens: to expand inside. Renate Riemensperger, the head of plus time time, emphasizes the importance of this initiative: “We want to make sure that older people can use the technologies to stay in contact with their relatives and to participate in the digital world."

An important step into the digital future

The registration for the office hours is required and can be made by 07621/9567350 or by email to R.Riemensperger (at) loerach.de by 11 a.m. This offer not only offers technical support, but also a valuable opportunity for older people to find their way around in an often overwhelming digital landscape.

The concept is inspired by initiatives such as the Nuremberg project "Paths to the Digital World for the elderly", which pursues similarly stored goals. In Nuremberg, volunteer digital spots are sought who have patience and humor and have experience in dealing with digital devices. Your goal is to make it easier for older people to get started with personal accompaniment and advice. Here you can also take part in events such as "digital cafes" and use loan devices if necessary. This practical support not only helps with dealing with technology, but also promotes social exchange among the participants: inside.

digital help from committed helpers: inside

The tasks of the digital spots in Nuremberg are versatile: In addition to personal accompaniment in 1: 1 tandems, you can also offer advice on digital office hours and participate at various digital meeting points. For the digital spots themselves, the project offers comprehensive support, including training offers and insurance, as well as a flexible design of their commitment. So you can decide for yourself when and where you want to be active.

The interest in such initiatives shows how important it is that older people are integrated into the digital world. The support of the city of Lörrach with the office hours is a step in the right direction in order to facilitate access to modern technology in this country and to motivate older people to participate.

whether in Lörrach or Nuremberg - the goal remains: a digital world that is accessible and usable for everyone. Seniors are invited not to shy away from asking questions and taking support in order to discover the possibilities of digitization.
