Before that, no particular steps had been taken to involve seniors in the development of the information society in Sweden. Thus SeniorNet Sweden was started by the end of 1996. During the first two years, SeniorNet Sweden has been supported by the Government, and has been looking for further support and cooperation with different partners. The team of administrators is small and utterly enthusiastic. They try to engage members in all kinds of activities and projects.
Members take part in discussions on the website.
Several members have received training to introduce fellow seniors into the world of Internet. Members start local clubs and help each other with computer problems. All being helped along by the people in the core of the organization. These views are held by younger people but are also frequent among seniors themselves. We have invited ordinary seniors to just come along and have a look at what it's all about to get to know a little of the things that engage so many of our children and grandchildren.
