Silver Infocomm Initiative

The Silver Infocomm Initiative (SII) aims to bridge the digital divide for senior citizens by addressing their differences in education background, language and infocomm competencies. SII includes programmes that provide access to IT training and computer resources, and engage senior citizens in various Silver Infocomm events such as Silver Infocomm Day.
