Research generated evidence that social computing applications can support both students and workers in their development of new learning processes and skills. Yet the entrenched digital divide continues to prevent participation by all generations in this new reality. This hybrid thematic workshop, organised as part of the World Summit on the Information Society Forum, will explore how to mitigate disparities through the use of digital tools in promoting intergenerational partnerships at the workplace for mutual support and learning.
Three speakers will give their views to kick off the debate. Participants will then form groups to identify positive and negative examples for the use of ICT at the workplace that promotes or hinders intergenerational relations.
After reporting back by the group, a short round of comments by the three speakers will close the session.
