Seoul City "Helping Seniors Escape Digital Illiteracy"

Seoul City Announces Recruitment for 'Digital Ieumdan'

The Seoul 50 Plus Foundation announced on the 28th that it is recruiting instructors for the ‘Digital I-eum Dan’ program, which provides smart device education support to help the elderly who face difficulties due to the information gap in the rapidly changing digital environment.

‘Digital I-eum Dan’ offers customized education to users of senior welfare facilities in Seoul, enabling them to use smart devices (smartphones, kiosks) in their daily lives.

Anyone in Seoul aged 40 to 64 who is capable of using digital devices can apply to join ‘Digital I-eum Dan.’ Those interested in participating can apply through the 50+ Portal.

Lee Sung-su, Head of Business Operations at the Seoul 50 Plus Foundation, said, “Middle-aged adults are the generation that best understands the elderly who struggle as digital underdogs and can provide education at their level.” He added, “We hope this project will help solve social issues caused by the digital information gap and contribute to expanding customized digital support services by generation.”
