Aims

The AWARE project seeks to give skills in the use of ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) so as to have a basis for social participation and an ICT tool that may help the social integration of both groups to foster active ageing and combat the consequences that can appear after retirement such as depression, loneliness and isolation.

In order to achieve the project’s aims and meet the related social challenges, the problem must be dealt with in such a way that it ensures the sustainability of the process. This process must begin by training in the use of ICTs and end by using the platform to enable elderly people’s social participation, social networking and “e-inclusion” via ICTs, as shown in the following diagram:

Objetivos

The main aim of the AWARE project is to develop a social network set up on an online platform that provides innovative services to elderly workers and retired people, contributing to social integration and EU policies aimed at ageing in society and supporting companies in dealing with the needs arising from ageing in the working population.
