AbstractThere are few studies in which students (from secondary school or universities) act as mentors for seniors to improve their digital competences. These educational interventions generally involved older adults enrolled from the community on a voluntary basis, who already have some initial digital skills and/or a positive attitude toward technology. Leveraging on own previous experience (Rolandi et al., 2020), in the framework of bridging the digital divide, we are running the “Cyber School for Grandparents”: a crowd-funded innovative intergenerational educational program aimed to train secondary school students (aged 15-17 years) to become cyber tutors for their grandparents. We aim at showing main baseline grandparents’ features, according to web access availability.Keywords: intergenerational educational program, ICT use, grandparents
