In our rapidly changing world, older adults are forced into different and challenging environments, requiring new skills and attitudes that can only be gained through education and training. Despite the many efforts made by EU institutions to promote lifelong learning (LLL), there still exists a large share of the population, namely older adults, which is being left behind. Adult education is essential to encourage the elder to be more active and participative in social and civic spheres.
Partners have seen this as an opportunity to discuss the intersectionality of gender and older age and understand the EU’s past, history and common values through this lens. The project will use all this cultural background and legacy as a motor for both the professional competences development of adult educators and the boosting of older adults’ motivation to actively participate in LLL activities.
