- The ongoing digitalisation of societies, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to increased efforts to ensure the digital inclusion of older adults. Digital inclusion strategies throughout the COVID-19 pandemic predominantly focused on increasing access and basic digital literacy of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for all members of society. Older adults, who are more likely to experience digital exclusion, are amongst the target groups of digital inclusion strategies. We propose that beyond digital inclusion, there is a need to focus on digital participation and optimise opportunities for everyone to participate in communities and society in post-pandemic times. Creative digital skills are the foundation of digital participation and can lead to a variety of contributions. Digital participation offers conditions that support agency and active contributions in a digitalised society. Taking macro-, meso-, and micro-level enablers of digital participation in later life into account, we argue for the establishment and implementation of multi-layered and multisectoral partnerships that address environmental factors (including social and physical dimensions) of digital participation and create opportunities for diverse, meaningful and fulfilling engagement with ICTs in later life. The partnership approach can be used in designing and implementing digital participation programmes and should be further evaluated against the needs and lived experiences of older individuals. Foresighted research is needed to investigate key factors of effective partnerships for optimising environments for digital participation in later life.

- This chapter considers the creation of the Later Life Audio and Radio Co-operative (LLARC) as an outcome of a participatory action research (PAR) project with a focus on facilitating later life civic participation. Developed in the UK, but with potential to become a global initiative, the LLARC is a collaborative network of older content creators, age-friendly radio stations, third-sector organisations, local authority actors, and academics with a shared interest in issues concerning ageing and later life. By showcasing diverse talk-based audio content created by older adults, the LLARC advocates for greater representation of older adults in public debates relating to key concerns of ageing societies. The LLARC members pursue three aims: (1) to challenge ageism and ageist stereotypes; (2) to advocate for intergenerational cohesion; and (3) to use community radio for community engagement. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the co-operative operates predominantly in digital spaces. In this chapter, we focus on the transferability of PAR projects conducted in collaboration with older people into the creation of sustainable communities, a process driven predominantly by older adults themselves. We reflect on the trajectory that has seen an initial PAR project based in a single location evolve into a nationwide co-operative social movement of age activists, which is now positioned to welcome international members. Drawing together insights from social gerontology, human-computer interaction, and design research in relation to the key concepts of civic participation and digitalisation in later life, we highlight the role of digital technologies as catalysts to establish self-sustaining communities from PAR projects. Using the LLARC as an example, we consider the potential of PAR to support older adults’ civic participation beyond the end of the research period. We reflect on the impact of different stakeholders within the LLARC project, concluding with a critical discussion of the opportunities and challenges associated with participatory initiatives involving collaborations between older adults, researchers, third-sector partners, and public authority actors.

- Sport-related concussion (SRC) is a serious injury in youth team sports, including handball. While research on the prevention of SRC has made progress over the past 5 years, prevention strategies are lacking in handball. The aim was to explore and develop strategies focusing on information, rules and training that may prevent concussion in youth handball by incorporating knowledge from experts and end users. Using a participatory methodology, experts (physiotherapy, biomechanics: n=3) and end users (players, coaches, referees, coach educators: n=7) contributed their experience and knowledge in a 2-hour online workshop. Participants were given three videos illustrating typical high-risk concussion scenarios from handball games and a youth player’s accompanying fictional written scenario. In group discussions inspired by the brainwriting method, participants were asked to provide ideas for possible SRC prevention strategies related to information, rules and/or training. Data were collected on a digital whiteboard and analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Three themes were derived: (1) ‘Coaches’ responsibility: raise awareness of the risk of injury and act to promote safe environments’; (2) ‘Players’ responsibility: safe defence and attack’; and (3) ‘Improvement of personal skills’. Experts and end users found information about high-risk situations and SRC symptoms, stricter rules and safe playing strategy training for goalkeepers, attacking and defending players, respectively, may effectively reduce SRC in handball. Information and stricter rules could be delivered through education and dissemination activities, whereas safe playing strategies should be trained at regular handball practice.
