CONECTI : conectando experiências com a terceira idade - projeto de extensão 2024

Abstract

In recent years, technology has seen significant advancement, leading to the digitalization of many aspects of life. Those who did not follow this evolution from the start, due to a lack of purchasing power or even a lack of interest, may now feel lost amid so many changes, especially the project’s target audience: the elderly. People accustomed to a less virtual way of life. The ConecTI Extension Project: Connecting Experiences with the Elderly, in its 2024 edition, aims to promote digital inclusion, social interaction, and well-being among the participants. Classes took place in Computer Lab 69 every Thursday, from 7:30 AM to 11:00 AM. These sessions included slide presentations and summaries of previous lessons, followed by practical computer exercises. At 9:00 AM, the students were dismissed and then proceeded to the gymnasium, or sports annex, to engage in physical activities. Professor Creusa Lelis conducted the remaining time with games, light exercises, and occasionally dancing.
