District of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen. The district of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen is one of 19 districts in Bavaria in which appropriate training courses for older people are being funded as part of the Media and Technology in Old Age program, or MuT for short. The funding period for the second phase is currently underway and will run until September 30, 2027.

MuT points are contact points where older people can learn how to use digital technologies safely and confidently in courses or media consultation hours. In the district of Bad Tölz, the funding is passed on to the active MuT points. Such MuT points have so far been the multi-generation house in Bad Tölz, the municipality of Wackersberg, Zammlebn in Benediktbeuern, the Catholic district education center in Beuerberg and Miteinander-Füreinander in Dietramszell. In 2024, MuT points were already funded in Icking and Sachsenkam.

Interested institutions can set up new MuT points and apply for funding. It includes a 10 percent personal contribution and support of 19.80 euros per training unit.
