Project Boomer: Digital Literacy Workshops for the Elderly in Five Croatian Counties

In collaboration with the Croatian Pensioners' Association, from May 17 to 22, members of the CREDO Research Center at the University of Dubrovnik held workshops on "Digital Literacy for the Elderly" in five Croatian counties. This initiative brought the BOOMER project consortium one step closer to its goal of providing digital literacy education for the elderly in all Croatian counties.

During the workshops held in Dubrovnik, Kaštel Kambelovac, Vodice, Senj, and Zadar, participants had the opportunity to expand their knowledge on key topics such as internet safety, recognizing misinformation, cyber security, responsible communication and content sharing on social media, and managing personal finances in a digital environment. Each workshop was carefully designed to address the specific needs of the elderly, providing not only theoretical knowledge but also practical skills for everyday application.

PATHFINDER - New project to promote AI skills in higher education

Centre for Research of Digital Transformation CREDO launched the Erasmus+ project 'Pathfinder' in cooperation with the LAB University of Applied Sciences in Finland, the University of Liechtenstein and the formatio private school in Liechtenstein aimed on the understanding and application of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education.

By using strategic guidelines, AI-based tools and tailored learning programs, teachers and students will be equipped with the necessary resources and knowledge to responsibly and effectively integrate AI into the teaching and learning process. Project includes the development of a teacher support framework, an AI-powered lesson planning toolkit, and a competency-based learning program for students. These tools aim to improve employability, promote innovation and strengthen the resilience of the European education community.
