VERALL GOAL
/
MISSION
People with learning difficulties give their IT knowledge to senior citizens living in the district. The concept has been
developed by people with learning difficulties themselves and is implemented in the PIKSL laboratories in Düsseldorf.
The courses are subject to charges in order to pay the teaching staff. At the beginning of the eight-week courses
(morning and afternoon sessions) for eight participants, the course content is discussed. Each teacher has two students.
At the beginning, the content of previous session is discussed and then new tasks are introduced. Assistants of the PIKSL
laboratory prepare the training sessions each day. The IT courses are action orientated with daily life examples. This
requires a sensitive consideration of the individual learning requirements.
T
HE SOLUTION THAT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED
The developed project is an inclusive media knowledge, were people with and without disabilities learn about ICT and
pass their acquired knowledge to third parties. PIKSL targets possibilities to participate in ICT and to remove
interdisciplinary barriers to facilitate inclusion. The ultimate aim is “digital participation”.
