Description Active ageing is a challenge which contemporary society has prepared for its elderly. This study attempts to provide answers to the following research questions: how can this be achieved? Which opportunities can be used in pursuing this aim? Is this aim also shared by the elderly? Taking active and vital elderly citizens who learn computers skills in mobile computer labs as an example, this study shows specific features of their learning, conditions under which the elderly learn better, how they manage to cope with the challenges of learning new skills, how this process is influenced by intergenerational contact and learning and finally what benefits this process has had for the elderly and what they appreciate explicitly.
