Simbioza e-pismena Slovenija

Year 2011 is a year of volunteering and because of that we decided to write about a project Simbioza e-pismena Slovenija. That was held in the hole Slovenia between  17. and 21. october. The project was ment to raise computer literacy among older people through intergenerational cooperation. Young volunteers splitted in groups, because the project was held a hole week in two periods (in the morning between 9.00 and 11.00 and in the afternoon between 16.00 and 18.00). Volunteers could sign up on the internet and choose which days, periods and contents are going to teach. Just like the volunteers the participants could sign up on the internet and in places where the project was held. For example, in Postojna the project was held in the premises of Šolski center Postojna, Ljudska univerza and knjižnica Bena Župančiča. The fact that participants could sign up on the internet i find totally unnecessary, because the first day of the project they were learning the parts of computer and on fourth day they learned about internet. The project was divided into several modules, which were getting harder every day and the particiants could sign up for the one that fitted their knowledge. Response of the participants was pozitive and their opinion is that we lack of projects like this.
