Educational initiatives for digital inclusion and social participation among the elderly are being implemented in Brazil through partnerships with Senac and local agencies.

In Serra Talhada, Senac is conducting a 15-hour basic informatics and internet course focused on web navigation, communication tools, and digital security to help seniors recognize risks like online fraud. 

In Ubatuba, the Secretariat of Social Assistance is offering free in-person courses across four modules: digital technology inclusion, elderly rights, theater, and regional tourism. To address low demand, officials are considering relocating sessions originally planned for the Maranduba area to consolidate classes. Registration for these sessions is available at designated sites in the West, South, and Central regions.
