| Summary: | This report was prepared within the curricular internship of the Master's Degree in Adult Education and Training and Community Intervention at the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Coimbra. The internship took place at Associação para o Desenvolvimento Integral de Lordelo (ADIL), a Private Institution of Social Solidarity dedicated to supporting older adults through services that promote active ageing, participation and quality of life.Throughout the internship, it was possible to participate in the planning, implementation and evaluation of a wide range of activities, including regular activities, cognitive and motor stimulation sessions, commemorative events, community-based activities and the production of content for the institution's social media platforms. These experiences contributed to the development of skills in planning, organisation, communication, teamwork and socio-educational intervention in an institutional context.As part of the internship, the intervention project VIDA Digital was designed and implemented with the aim of promoting digital literacy among older adults through the use of technological devices and practical activities adapted to their needs and interests.
