At the consensus conference Torleif Løvgren from Kongsberg presented his experiences from IT training for senior citizens at Kongsberg - in this report referred to as the Kongsberg model. The model is to a large extent based on voluntary work, idealism and extensive cooperation between different voluntary organisations and municipal bodies. According to this model training of elderly IT users is financed partly by the compulsory state school system where this activity is offered as an optional subject, the Red Cross offers rooms and computer equipment in a training centre such as “Open workshop”, the council for the elderly.
