SECTECH is a European initiative aiming to reduce scams targeting elderly citizens by 2030. The project seeks to empower older people\u2014who often face digital exclusion\u2014by offering sustainable education and practical tools to navigate the digital world safely. Through workshops, awareness campaigns, and targeted support (including games, helplines, and a website), the project aspires to improve seniors\u2019 participation in society and protect them from fraud.<\/p>                    <\/div>\n\t\t        \n                    <div id=\"fact-sheet-tab\" class=\"clearfix eael-tab-content-item inactive\" data-title-link=\"fact-sheet-tab\">\n\t\t\t\t        <p><strong>Challenge<br \/><\/strong><\/p><p>Elderly individuals across Europe are increasingly vulnerable to scams due to:<\/p><ul><li>Cognitive decline affecting decision-making and increasing gullibility.<\/li><li>Low digital literacy and limited technology use.<\/li><li>Social isolation, which makes them more susceptible to manipulation.<\/li><li>Rapid digitalisation and overwhelming online environments that outpace their learning curve.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Target Groups: <\/strong><\/p><ul><li><strong>Primary<\/strong>: Older adults, particularly those who are socially isolated, technologically inexperienced, or living in rural areas.<\/li><li><strong>Secondary<\/strong>: Families, caregivers, and local communities providing support to seniors.<\/li><li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Solution<br \/><\/strong><\/p><p>SENIOR SECTECH proposes a multi-layered approach:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Public awareness tools<\/strong>, such as educational games and dedicated phone support.<\/li><li>A <strong>central website<\/strong> offering practical advice and information.<\/li><li>Regular <strong>in-person and digital workshops<\/strong> tailored to different digital skill levels.<\/li><li>Community-based outreach to ensure <strong>access and inclusion<\/strong> regardless of background or location.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Innovation<br \/><\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Focus on <strong>education as prevention<\/strong>, not just post-fraud support.<\/li><li>Uses a <strong>holistic persona-driven approach<\/strong>, based on Ana Maria\u2014a senior citizen facing fears of disconnection and scams.<\/li><li>Adopts a <strong>person-centred strategy<\/strong>, acknowledging the diversity among older adults and customising learning accordingly.<\/li><li>Promotes <strong>safe participation<\/strong> in digital society as a core component of social inclusion.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Impact<br \/><\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Increased <strong>digital confidence and resilience<\/strong> among seniors.<\/li><li>Improved <strong>awareness and ability to detect online scams<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Strengthened <strong>social connectedness<\/strong> and reduced fear of isolation.<\/li><li>A <strong>reduction in scam victimisation<\/strong> rates across elderly
