Risk analysis and barriers

The main objective of the MILEAGE project is to create a new and more engaging way to foster seniors’ digital skills and media and information literacy (MIL) to empower them in the use of ICT tools in everyday life raising awareness on digital dangers and how to face them.

How?

• With a report on risks and barriers faced by seniors in the digital environment
• With the development of virtual risks scenarios (role playing)
• With the creation of micro lessons with explanations on the defined risks
• With the drafting of a handbook for adult educators with guidance supporting training activities (multiplier effect).

 This report on risks and barriers presents the main social media, communication tools and other platforms largely used nowadays. We describe the risks and dangers associated with them specifically : each issue or risk is analyzed and a solution to overcome it is offered, listing also the competences needed and activated in doing so.

This document  is created to give trainers , seniors and the general public some information related to the digital environment that the senior individuals face in their daily life, offering some tips and advice to enhance seniors' digital competences and trust in the digital world. This document will guide the development of our training content and of the risk scenarios created through the project to support media and information literacy for seniors.
