E-engAGEd addresses the pressing need for digital literacy and critical thinking skills in an era dominated by online information. By fostering collaboration between younger and older generations, the project seeks to create a more inclusive and empowered society.
Through a combination of intergenerational debates, media literacy training, and policy advocacy, E-engAGEd empowers participants to navigate the complexities of the digital world, identify misinformation, and actively engage in civic and political processes.
Why:
The project is driven by the urgent need to address digital literacy gaps, combat misinformation, and foster critical thinking skills in an increasingly digital society. By empowering both young and older adults with the necessary skills and knowledge, e-engAGEd aims to promote active citizenship and strengthen democracy.
Who:
E-engAGEd targets two distinct yet interconnected groups: young adults (aged 18-25) and older adults (aged 50+). By bringing these generations together, the project fosters mutual learning, understanding, and collaboration, creating a supportive environment for knowledge exchange and skill development.

- Increased digital literacy and critical thinking skills among participants.
- Enhanced collaboration and understanding between young adults and older adults.
- Empowered participants to actively engage in civic and political processes.
