Seniors Learning in digital spaces: Re-creating the spirit of the coffee break and the vermouth time

Abstract

This article summarises the experiences of some seniors in the UK and Spain during the Covid lockdown. It explains how they managed to create online communities that helped them stay active, receive support from their peers and profit from technological advances. Seniors’ experiences in both countries can help us understand how technology can become an ally and what strategies we can implement to lessen the digital divide between Seniors and younger people following the SELID Erasmus+ project objectives (https://selid.efos-europa.eu).
