Interview with Hanspeter Kraft from May 7, 2019
Since the start of the "GGG Digi-Coach" project in December 2018, Hanspeter Kraft has spent one afternoon a week at the Gundeldingen library on Tellplatz. He welcomes people seeking advice and advises them on computers, programs, cell phones, tablets, online forms and much more.
Hanspeter Kraft is a retired mathematician from the University of Basel. His connection to the digital world has existed throughout his professional life. He explains that as a GGG Digi-Coach, you not only need to have an affinity for today's technology - you also have to like people. The topics are varied, he not only advises senior citizens, younger men and women also come to him.
It is important to him to take away the uncertainty of those seeking advice and to strengthen their confidence in their own knowledge. Sometimes he closes elementary gaps in order to get people out of any defensive position they may have towards the digital world. He lets everyone do it themselves and only sits in to advise them. And he smiles: "Women are a bit braver! They are more daring to ask questions.
