DIGICulture Brings Generations Together Through Art and Digital Learning

The DIGICulture – Bridging Generations Through Digital Cultural Exploration project, coordinated by Learning for Integration ry, has successfully concluded its activities. Funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers through Nordic Culture Point's Culture and Art Programme, the project was implemented in 2025–2026 in cooperation with B-Creative Association (Sweden) and Motyvaciniai Projektai (Lithuania). DIGICulture brought together young volunteers and seniors, to explore digital arts and culture while promoting intergenerational learning and social inclusion. Young volunteers first received training in digital cultural resources, storytelling tools and mentoring methods before supporting seniors in practical workshops.

In Finland, the workshops took place at local senior centres, where young volunteers helped seniors discover online museums, exhibitions and other cultural resources. In Sweden, participants worked in cooperation with migrant and senior centres, while in Lithuania, creative storytelling workshops were complemented by immersive VR/3D cinema experiences. Feedback from all three countries was very positive: seniors reported increased confidence in using digital tools, while young volunteers developed communication skills, patience and a deeper appreciation of older generations' experiences. Above all, DIGICulture demonstrated how art, culture and technology can bring generations closer together, creating meaningful connections that extend beyond the workshops.
