About this project

What Problem Are We Addressing?
In our increasingly digital society, many people are excluded from essential digital services. Older adults and those with little prior experience using digital technologies often face significant challenges. They lack the support needed to use digital tools safely and independently. The result: social isolation, limited access to vital information, and barriers to participating in society.
At FördiKo, we empower people of all ages to navigate the digital world safely and confidently.
FördiKo is a non-profit educational institute with an interdisciplinary team of media educators, senior trainers, and gerontologists. We also collaborate with local and national partners, including welfare organizations (e.g., Caritas, AWO, DRK), educational institutions, and municipalities.
Who Do We Help?
