Greece has launched a pilot program called 'Digital Education and Empowerment for the Elderly and People with Disabilities,' which is set to enhance digital literacy among citizens aged over 65 and those with a disability percentage of 50% or more. This initiative aims to combat digital exclusion and ensure active participation in today's digital age for all citizens. Funded by the Recovery Fund, the program is a collaborative effort between the Ministries of Social Cohesion and Family and Digital Governance.

The national initiative seeks to establish an educational network across Greece, providing thousands of citizens with essential digital skills that can enhance their daily lives. Participants will receive training in various areas, including the use of digital communication applications, online payments, accessing government services through gov.gr, and navigating social media platforms. This training is crucial for helping vulnerable groups better adapt to modern technological requirements.

Interested individuals can apply for the program until March 15, with the aim of equipping older adults and persons with disabilities with the necessary tools to thrive in an increasingly digital world. By facilitating access to technology and digital services, this program not only promotes inclusion but also empowers these groups to utilize resources that can enhance their quality of life and independence.
