Belarus #UnitedinDistance: digital literacy for the elderly to stay in touch

22.04.2020

An EU-supported UNDP course helps seniors from rural areas to keep in touch with their family and friends online

 

During the coronavirus outbreak, staying connected got much harder, especially for seniors - and even more so in rural areas.

In the Homiel region of Belarus, more than 80 senior citizens are receiving training in digital literacy thanks to an EU-supported course by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

The digital skills acquired are now helping Valentina and many others to keep in touch with their friends and family online.

This is just of the many examples of UNDP-EU partnership.

Thank you UNDP, and Valentina for her eagerness to learn, you make us #UnitedinDistance!
