Coll-Oya is an international project funded by the \u201cErasmus+ KA220 Cooperation Partnerships in Adult Education\u201d program. Coll-Oya is the acronym for \u201cOlder Adults Learning English and Digital Literacy in Collaboration with Young Adults\u201d.<\/p>\n

The project encourages the active participation of older adults in the digital world and supports their social inclusion by teaching them English with content-based instruction methodology (based on practical examples of international situations while using digital technologies, like sending a document, finding ways, ordering a meal, online shopping, booking a flight\/train ticket, etc.). The knowledge they gain is believed to help them in daily life experiences.<\/p>\n

One of the original aspects of this project is that it brings two generations together. While one generation, young adults, is digital natives who actively use the digital facilities and are familiar with the language of the digital world with a good command of English as well, the second generation, older adults, is composed of older adults who are still active in life, have limited knowledge of the language and digital skills and thus experience difficulties in catching up with the innovations of the new digitalized world.<\/p>\n

An interactive PDF textbook<\/strong> adapted to the learning needs and characteristics of older adults for learning English will be developed and complemented with the use of an Online Learning Management System<\/strong> teaching digital literacy as well.<\/p>\n

The megatrend of ageing – long lives to 100 as a matter of course and more old than young in all societies as they modernize- is one of the powerful global trends jointly with the technology raise of our 21st century. As today\u2019s one billion older adults over 60 will double to two billion in the next three decades, it becomes evident that ageing in a digital world can turn the paradigm of vulnerable into valuable. \u200b<\/p>\n

\u200bInformation and Communication Technologies- ICTs, if built with the digital accessibility requirements and universal design in mind can make a fundamental difference in creating accessible, inclusive and age friendly digital environments and communities. ICT can further enable all of us to live a healthy and active later life, participate and make longer socio-economic contributions to the society, and thus empower all of us to live our lives to the full.\u200b<\/p>\n
