“A Year Better” project, co-funded by Erasmus+, is pleased to announce the successful completion of Work Package 2 (WP2), dedicated to the mapping of Digital Survival Skills in line with the European DigComp framework. The finalization of WP2 is the result of a common effort of partners from Spain, France, Poland, Italy, North Macedonia, and Belgium, who closely cooperated to reach the common goal.
Within WP2, the consortium has:
- Identified and analysed essential digital skills for seniors, with a focus on how these skills can help combat digital isolation
- Assessed existing tools and digital resources available to older adults, highlighting both strengths and gaps
- Compared European, national, and local standards to outline a clear and coherent framework of “Digital Survival Skills”
The mapping results will serve as the foundation for the project’s next stages, particularly:
- the design of multilingual training modules in Work Package 3
- the development of the Open Educational Resources (OER) platform hosting training materials
- a strategic approach to fostering the digital inclusion of older adults
The AYB team is now building on these findings to create practical and accessible training content, which will be piloted in the coming months. With WP2 finalised, the project moves one step closer to its overarching goal: strengthening digital competences, promoting autonomy, and supporting seniors’ active participation in today’s digital society.
