<< Background >>Population ageing is one of the most important changes that our society is facing today. According to the World Health Organization (2020), it is predicted that there will be two billion people over 60 years by 2050. It is estimated that between 2000 and 2050 the number of people aged 80 and over will increase almost four times up to 395 million. Ageing is characterized by the decrease in physiological activity that leads older population to greater vulnerability. The physical and cognitive function of older people can be deteriorated causing situations of fragility, disability and dependence (Alonso et al., 2007 and Fried et al., 2003). The vulnerability that the ageing process entails has been aggravated during confinement. In addition, older people have been affected by greater social restrictions as they were the age group at greatest risk for the disease caused by SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19) due to comorbidity, geriatric syndromes and frailty associated with the ageing process (Wynants et al., 2020). These restrictions have affected their physical, cognitive and psychological health but also social restrictions’ measures in this group have been more severe in some countries in order to avoid the chances of contagion in this vulnerable group. However, due to the decrease in the social relationships caused by confinement, other pre-existing problems in the senior population, such as loneliness and social isolation, have been intensified. Separation from family and friends, and other social networks and the inability to participate in social activities, has affected those who already were in social isolation, as well as those who had not previously suffered (Brooke and Jackson, 2020 and Pinazo, 2020). Also the anti-COVID-19 measures have had an impact beyond social isolation. It has also led to a decrease in physical activity and an increase in depressive symptoms and in cognitive impairment (Gardner et al., 2020). On the other hand, the process of digitization of our society is increasing. This growing phenomenon can offer great opportunities to the older population. In the current situation, digital tools and mobile phones have been essential instruments that have provided various benefits during the pandemic situation, such as helping people to socialize in a time characterized by social distancing. In this situation, new technologies have been of great help to maintain people's social circles and friendships. However, it has been found that the use of new technologies is lower in older people, bringing a digital generational gap (Seifert, Cotton, & Xie, 2021). Even though new technologies can bring great opportunities to seniors, if it is approached from an active ageing perspective.<< Objectives >>The general objective of this project is to develop an e-tool with teaching activities that can promote social participation and healthy and active ageing in seniors. To this end, professionals working with older people will be trained to be active agents of change promoting active ageing, especially in its social dimension, through a digital tool designed for older people. In this sense, the project aims not only to improve professionals’ competences, but also to develop a digital tool that can help professionals to promote active ageing among seniors and to support them in the development of their digital skills and social participation. Under this general objective, this project aims to achieve the following specific objectives:•Develop an easy-to-use e-tool for seniors so that through the use of new technologies they can know how to be more active and participate more in their community.•Fostering the abilities of professionals through a co-created training program and e-tool that can help them to promote seniors’ social participation through new technologies.•Promoting active ageing, social and civic participation, and environmental sustainability principles in seniors in European societies •Enhancing and improving the use of new technologies in older people.<< Implementation >>The activities to be implemented will be the following ones:- To develop a co-created training course for professionals working with seniors based on the information provided by professionals and older people (a process based on user needs) to promote social participation and motivate seniors to use new technologies. In this regard a report on seniors’ needs and a co-created syllabus for the training contents will be needed. -To develop a set of activities by professionals working with seniors based on the training got to promote digital skills, active ageing, social and civic participation, and environmental sustainability principles in seniors. -To create an e-tool to promote active ageing which will be an essential tool for both professionals and seniors.<< Results >>The e-Active project is expected to have the following results: •Result 1 – Report on seniors needs, professional needs and best practices concerning the use of e-tools for seniors’ social and civic participation based on co-designed sessions carried out in R1. •Result 2 – Training course on senior social participation and digital skills for professionals working with seniors. •Result 3 – Development of a set of activities to promote digital skills, active ageing, social and civic participation, and environmental sustainability principles in seniors that can be done through an e-tool. •Result 4- Development of an easy to use e-tool that can be adapted to several levels of seniors’ digital skills.
