In a world that is becoming increasingly digital, lifelong learning is the key to ageing well. This is precisely where the „Revolutionizing Education60+“ project comes in, developing Wise Learn, an e-learning platform that is specifically tailored to the needs and interests of the 60+ generation.
Age-appropriate education for the 60+ generation
Many digital learning opportunities are primarily aimed at younger target groups. This project offers content for the 60+ generation and combines online learning with practice-oriented, blended learning courses on current topics. The platform not only promotes the acquisition of digital skills, but also supports the self-determination and active participation of learners.
Developed together with older adults
The content and formats are developed in close collaboration with senior citizens. The platform covers a wide range of topics, from innovation and entrepreneurship to business development and healthy ageing. This participatory approach ensures that the learning opportunities are practical and relevant to the target group.
Digital skills for an active life
Digital skills give older people the opportunity to actively participate in social and economic life. Whether professional engagement beyond retirement or the implementation of social projects, the platform supports its users in exploiting the potential of digital tools.
The platform supports older adults who want to continue their education and take on new challenges. With a user-friendly design and content that is tailored to the realities of participants’ lives, learning becomes an enriching experience.
A contribution to greater educational equality
The project closes an important gap in the educational landscape by involving older generations more closely. It not only promotes digital participation, but also enables learners to develop their skills and contribute their experience. In this way, the platform strengthens both the social and economic participation of older people.
„Revolutionizing Education60+“ is a joint project of the UZH (Healthy Longevity Center) and the ZHAW (School of Management and Law) and is supported by the Digitization Initiative of the Zurich Universities (DIZH).
