Transmission of Experience through Digitally Trained Senior Mentors to Mentees (TEaTIME) project is a research-driven project aiming senior citizens who are regarded as digitally low-skilled but good at their current job and willing to transmit their profession to younger generations.
The senior citizens will three tailor-made training modules namely; Mentorship, Conflict of Generations, and Digital Competence which will enable them learn to communicate with the younger generation, to use digital devices easily, and to transmit their professions to young mentees.
The project’s main target group is senior adults (retired or in a wider context aged 55+ adults) and young people (newly graduated or newly started his/her working life – aged between 23-30).
The whole participants will be awarded certificates which we desire it to extend across Europe that will testify their skills and background received in adult education on mentorship and so on. In short term, the project firstly aims to get results and have an impact at local and regional levels. We aim to enable the active participation of senior adults and providing them with active ageing within society. Therefore; a set of trainings are planned to be actualized in related education centres and universities.
The project will change perceptions of people towards senior adults to have them into social life. They will have enough opportunities to share their experiences through well-designed education and will break the walls with young generations. The local and national governments will give importance and the project’s outputs will be trained in more places than expected. The project aims to be a solid reference for the future of adult education.
