CompiSternli a unique generation project
The CompiSternli association was elected as Charity of the Year 2020 by the Swiss employees.
Most of the children click, type and wipe their way through the navigation of the smartphone and tablet with ease. Elderly people, on the other hand, often have less courage to enter the digital world.
The idea: Children help older people to use digital devices. This connects generations and, in the meantime, helps children develop their soft skills.
The elderly citizens should participate in life - also digitally.
Education instead of exclusion is the answer. The association CompiSternli provides a unique generation project.
The CompiSternli association offers schoolchildren the opportunity to help the older generation take their first steps in the digital world. In the "iPad project", senior citizens learn from children of junior high school age how to use a tablet in their day-to-day lives. During their training for CompiSternli (literally "computer stars"), the children must think carefully about the needs of older people and practice their interpersonal skills in this way. Through its work, the association wants to close the digital gap between the generations while supporting respectful encounters in which both young people and adults can experience something new.
The aim is that employees will fundraise at their workplace and/or from home-office.
With many fundraising activities canceled in 2020, the Credit Suisse charity of the year will need your support more than ever this year.
