The 60-plus generations, and especially those over 70, still use the internet very little compared to the younger population. Yet the older generations in particular can benefit from it. Therefore, since 2012, the “Golden Internet Award” has been honouring people, initiatives and, since 2017, municipalities that support older people in safely entering and using the online world. Last time there were almost 100 submissions nationwide.
Facilities can apply for the award in the following categories:
- Category 1: Digital participation – supporting people in times of Corona
- Category 2: Internet for all – the diversity of target groups!
- Category 3: Community participation – the diversity of digital ways!
Special Award: Respectful – active for fair treatment on the net!
