The general objective of the educational action is to train students in basic skills in using computer equipment, especially cell phones, so that they can use them in their lives as autonomously as possible, providing new social, economic and cultural opportunities.

Elderly
The Tec+ Digital Education course was designed for senior citizens, but anyone interested in learning more about the features of a cell phone will benefit from taking it.

National and International Day of Older Persons
On December 14, 1990, the United Nations General Assembly designated October 1 as the International Day of Older Persons. In Brazil, Law 10.741/2003 established the Statute of the Elderly, a specific legislation designed to regulate the rights guaranteed to people aged 60 and over. In 2006, Law 11.433 chose October 1 as National Day of the Elderly.
The date serves to invite people to reflect on the challenges that the elderly face, such as access to health, education and digital inclusion, and to promote actions that aim to ensure their well-being and respect in all areas of life.
