Silver Surfers’ Day is the biggest, national campaign to promote use of digital technologies by older people. It is run by Digital Unite and was started in 2002. Silver Surfers’ Day is its ninth glorious year. It’s on Friday 21 May.
On Silver Surfers’ Day we support people and organisations all over the UK to open their doors and give local older people a taste of what the digital world has to offer them at a Silver Surfers’ Day Event.
Silver Surfers’ Day Events involve digital skills and digital technology and older people in some way, but exactly how is up to you. We have loads of suggestions and learning materials for you to use, but you can decide whether you explore the web, do some digital photography, set up blogs, Tweet for a day, use Wii or gaming to entice people in.
On Silver Surfers’ Day last year, 400 Event Holders registered more than 1,000 events. In 2010, we’re planning – with your support – to promote even more.
Anyone can become an Event Holder – big, small, local, national – if you’re already working with older people, if you are passionate about supporting them to be digitally literate, then Silver Surfers’ Day is for you.
