KUCHING – An impactful digital skills training session to empower members of the Sarawak Gerontology and Geriatric Society was conducted on Saturday, 19 August 2023 under the Digital Technologies Seniors Program (DTSP), an initiative co-developed by Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus and Persatuan Kebajikan Rolf Schnyder.
Launched in November 2021, DTSP bridges the generational gap between youths and senior citizens through technology coaching and reciprocal mentorship, paving the way for seniors to stay connected in today’s digital landscape. Youths and senior citizens who take part in the program have the opportunity to gain valuable skills and knowledge while also providing support and guidance to each other.
This endeavour aligns with the Sarawak Ministry of Women, Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development’s mandate of sustaining community wellbeing for a dignified existence for all.
