ODYSSEY is a small-scale Erasmus+ partnership in adult education running from October 2025 to September 2026. The project is implemented in Poland and Hungary and focuses on adults aged 60+.
Our aim is to protect older adults from scams, manipulation and financial exploitation - especially in digital environments, but also in offline situations such as high-pressure sales events or fake authority calls. We want to reduce fear of technology, strengthen confidence and give learners practical routines they can use immediately.
Why this project matters
Older adults are targeted by fake courier messages, bank impersonation, grandchildren scams, fake investment offers and manipulated shopping situations. At the same time, more and more of them use online banking, mobile payments and public digital services. The need is no longer optional - it is urgent.
