The objective of the project is to offer skills and knowledge to seniors – older adults, with focus on baby boomers aged 50+, how to use sharing economy initiatives to improve their life and at the same time make the most of common used ICT – devices (smart phones, tablets) and accessible and affordable software. SHES will produce a number of results to achieve seniors’ active use of the ICTs and sharing economy. In particular, the project will produce the following results:
- An introductory study about living standard of older population, retirement conditions and challenges and a State Of The Art (SOTA) about existing solutions and initiatives in the field of sharing economy and ICT for seniors.
- A users’ requirements report, whose data will be collected thanks to questionnaires that seniors will answer and thanks to face-to-face focus groups
- A Silver Sharing Economy Guide tested workshops with seniors and the relative report.
- A Scientific Paper that will examine the experience of the project partners in their countries and make recommendations for policy change on the basis of that experience.
