Digital tools and online information are part of everyday life. But for many older adults, navigating them safely and confidently can be challenging. To support this need, Information Matters offers a specially designed video tutorial series for users aged 55 and above. These short, easy-to-follow videos provide non-formal lessons that introduce key topics in media and digital literacy in a simple, relatable, and accessible way.

Available in English, Bulgarian, German, and Romanian, the series serves as a gateway to the broader Information Matters Educational Training Programme. The videos are designed to help older users develop critical thinking, digital awareness, and media handling skills, with the guidance of certified adult educators trained through the program. Each video aligns with the real-life needs of older learners and supports their ability to engage meaningfully in today’s digital society.

The series covers the following topics:

1. Media Literacy: Concepts & Theory
2. Media Literacy for Older People
3. Media Literacy and Technology
4. Media Literacy: Hardware & Software
5. Media Literacy & Digital Well-Being
6. Media Literacy & Digital Services
7. Media Literacy & Social Media Platforms
8. Media Literacy & Disinformation
