    Aging With Active Knowledge and Experience

    The main goal of the project was to improve the methods of teaching people 50+, based on proven methods of education in Europe and active aging. As a result of long-term cooperation, we have developed new programs and proposals for teachers, trainers and staff of non-governmental organizations and public institutions, providing informal education for senior citizens. The materials contain issues concerning the different ways to motivate senior citizens to learn, organize volunteering in 50+ group and use ICT in elderly teaching and can be used also by senior citizens themselves, volunteers and local community animators. In the process of creating these materials we used the knowledge and experience of senior listeners who shared with us their own thoughts and expectations for learning in adulthood. Thanks to the implementation of the project we have gained very important experience in the international project management, including the development of practical skills related to the organization of study visits, conferences and dissemination of the results, as well as increased language skills of staff and listeners. We also appreciate the value of the partnership, exchange of experiences and sharing resources, also at the local level. A great success of the project is the fact that every partner organization, was able to draw the attention of local communities and media on the needs of senior citizens, not only concerning the education. The importance of this subject shows e.g. the presence during the project meetings representatives of authorities, as well as local journalists - press, radio and television - in different countries. We jointly developed a universal tool (questionnaire), which was the basis to investigate the educational needs of people over 50 and motivation to volunteering in different countries. We have compiled results of the research in one report and discussed in details during the international conference closing the project.
