Disinformation and misinformation can confuse people, especially those who did not grow up with digital media. BonJour helps adults 55+ feel less alone and more in control.
Many older adults receive a lot of messages every day (news, social media, chats) but do not know which information to trust.
We provide simple media education and basic digital skills training so that people 55+ can recognise manipulation and protect themselves.
BonJour combines three elements: media literacy, digital skills and simple journalism tools to help people feel in control of the information they see every day.
Understanding messages
Using devices step by step
Create stories
Activities can be used in face-to-face groups, individual learning or blended formats.
BonJour is a European project for adults 55+ that helps people feel safer and more confident with information and technology, and reduces the digital gap between generations. “BonJour” combines “Bon” (good) and “Jour” (journalism) – it stands for good, ethical journalism instead of fake or manipulative news.
The project also develops a new professional role: the Media Educator for the Elderly, who supports older adults in using media and digital tools in a simple, practical way.
The BonJour resources are designed for older adults and for the people and organisations who support them.
People who want to feel safer with media and technology, with clear language and step-by-step support.
Adult educators, community centres, NGOs and providers who need ready-to-use activities and guidance.
A partnership of organisations from across Europe makes BonJour possible.
