The SHES
project is set to help seniors get a better understanding of ICT and use it as
a way of staying active and included in the daily life.Indeed,
the growing role of ICT in our daily lives has led to concerns of increasing
inequality between those who can and those who cannot take advantage of new
technologies. One solution that the SHES partnerships has identified is sharing
economy, a collaborative economic model based on people sharing possessions
and services, either for free or for payment, usually using the internet in
ways that produce economic, environmental, social and practical benefits.
The objective
of the project is to offer skills and knowledge to seniors - older adults, with
focus on baby boomers aged 50+, how to use sharing economy initiatives to
improve their life and at the same time make the most of common used ICT -
devices (smart phones, tablets) and accessible and affordable software.The project will use already existing smart, open,
trusted and personalized learning solutions to optimize digital learning and to
allow learners to engage and interact with content and with peers.
In
practice, the main results that will be finalized during the SHES project and
its completion are:
-
An introductory study
about living standard of older population, retirement conditions and challenges
and a State of The Art (SOTA) about existing solutions and initiatives in the
field of sharing economy and ICT for seniors will be produced by all project
partners.
-
A users' requirements report,
whose data will be collected thanks to a questionnaire that seniors will answer
and thanks to face-to-face focus groups.
-
A Silver Sharing Economy
Guide to be tested during workshops with seniors will be developed by the
project partners.
-
A Scientific
Paperthat
will be produced by the academic partner of the project, UoT
and the business partner, FYG. The scientific paper will examine the experience
of the project partners in their countries and make recommendations for policy
change on the basis of that experience
