Seniors learn digital communication: WhatsApp & email in focus

More and more seniors are facing the challenge of effectively using digital communication. To help this target group, a new information event of the digital fit series will be offered on September 17th at 10 a.m. This is an initiative characterized by the knowledge transfer that aims to bring the older people closer to understanding and using digital communication means.

The event takes place immediately after the previous digital fit round. Reyyan Cekic, a committed Bachelor student of the Worms University of Applied Sciences with a focus on business informatics, leads this interesting session as part of her thesis. It will explain step by step to the participants in an understandable manner how they can use WhatsApp. To do this, she will not only explain the basics, but also indicate important security aspects that are of great importance in the digital age.

In today's world, it is not only important to know how to use digital communication tools, but also how to use them safely. Reyyan will explain to the seniors how they can act safely on the Internet. A central component of the session will be the topic of WhatsApp: How is the application installed? Which functions are particularly useful? And what should you know to protect yourself from possible risks?

In addition, Reyyan will show the participants how to write and receive emails. This also includes practical tips for sending attachments and organizing the email inbox. These skills are crucial these days to facilitate communication with relatives and friends and to get relevant information quickly.

The event not only offers the seniors the opportunity to expand their knowledge of digital communication, but also to ask their questions and gain practical experience. The interactive nature of the event should help the participants to move more safely in an increasingly digital world.

In a time when digital competence is becoming increasingly important, it is of great importance that older people also have access to these skills. Such initiatives such as the digital fit series are crucial to bridge the digital gap and enable older generations to participate in digital life.
