Digital Skills Workshop - CITY College students assist seniors in embracing new technologies

CITY College student volunteers from our Computer Science Department participated in another Digital Skills Workshop and had the opportunity to become tutors of members of Senior Citizens Centres (KAPI) of the Municipality of Thessaloniki and assist them in learning digital skills and safe internet browsing. The workshop was conducted simultaneously in two physical locations that were connected digitally: the Digital Transformation and Digital Skills Center (DT&S) – Cisco and the 1st Branch of KAPI Centres.

The activity was facilitated by Dr Nikolaos Tsorakidis, Deputy Vice-President for External Engagement and Partnerships of CITY College, University of York Europe Campus, Dr Ioanna Stamatopoulou, Head of the Computer Science Department and Mr. Agathoklis Vatzias, Operations Manager at theDigital Transformation and Digital Skills Center (DT&S).

The workshop - which was part of a series of workshops that were launched earlier this year - took place in the context of the ‘ALL-LINE’ project run by CITY College, University of York Europe Campus in collaboration with the Municipality of Thessaloniki and the Digital Transformation and Digital Skills Center (DT&S) – Cisco.
