Hinweis der Redaktion
Just as the demographic makeup of European society is changing, the manner in which citizens interact with each other has also changed dramatically in recent years. The Internet, Email and Web 2.0 social media have led to a migration of social interaction from physical to virtual communities. Due to the demographic shift, the number of senior citizens’ social platforms has signifincantly risen (e.g. 50plusnet.nl, seniorkom.at, etc.). However, their potential as a learning environment in general and learning environment for P2P e-learning is rarely recognised. One factor that makes these networks attractive is the chance of obtaining information about members without actually contacting or “meeting” them. A significant number of open source Web 2.0 tools for supporting the learning needs of older people are available. These tools, however, were designed with the young and middle aged generation in mind, and therefore need to be adapted so they can be used on the senior citizens’ learning market to their full potential. The motto, "Sapere aude!", which means: dare to be wise!, was created by the ancient philosopher Horace, and forms the foundations of the PEER project’s paradigm.
PEER’s objective is to provide a significant breakthrough in the innovative application of Web 2.0 tools to enable older people to maintain their mental abilities, to share their experiences and knowledge, to be socially interactive and to gain cognitive self-fulfilment. The aims are:

Maybe this slide is not necessary – from previouse workshop simillar to this I made the expereinces that they are borrowed by such information.
Very brief only
Maybe you can find a better sentence to make them aware they are the experts of their needs and life situation.
