Digital skills courses for residents aged 60 and over will begin on Monday 21 September 2026 in Spata and Artemida. The ‘Digital Skills 60+’ programme is being run by the Municipality of Spata–Artemida in partnership with Microsoft and Socialinnov, and participation is free of charge.
What you’ll learn
The course focuses on things people need on a daily basis, rather than theory: communicating with family via mobile phone, using email, online banking, booking medical appointments and appointments with public services, as well as making use of the services available on gov.gr.
Where and how do the lessons take place?
The training sessions take place in person at the ‘1st Primary School of Spata’ Cultural Centre, as well as at the municipality’s senior citizens’ centres in Spata and Artemida.
Each group consists of 10 people, so that the trainer can give each participant individual attention. Each course lasts a total of 20 hours and is completed within 5 weeks.
You don’t need to have your own computer or tablet: Socialinnov provides the equipment required for the course. However, anyone who prefers to practise on their own device is welcome to bring their laptop or tablet.

Third year of the initiative
The initiative forms part of the ‘Digital Skills for All’, which is being run for the third consecutive year in the Municipality of Spata–Artemida and has already been attended by hundreds of school pupils, university students and adults. This year’s new feature is that it specifically targets the age group that is usually the last to be included in digital services, at a time when more and more transactions with the state are taking place exclusively online.
