Mobilizing Retirees: The Missing Piece in Boosting Digital Safety
Switzerland has a hidden superpower: its retirees. Many people in retirement are looking for new purpose, new challenges – and new ways to give back. Retirees bring valuable expertise from their careers in education, health, business, IT, management and more. They understand people. They know how to communicate. And they often have the time and motivation to get involved to strengthen the digital skills in schools, libraries, and senior homes.
Join CYREN ZH, a project for the DSI Community Cybersecurity, to explore how volunteer engagement – especially from retirees – can help strengthen digital skills in our communities. Gérald Vernez (digiVolution) will present the national CyberPatrouilleur initiative and its potential for the Canton of Zurich. Dr. Melanie Knieps (CYREN ZH) will lead the workshop. The aim is to develop concrete ideas and next steps for involving retirees in building a safer digital future.
