  • Active ageing means helping people stay in charge of their own lives for as long as possible. Because keeping minds active is equally as important as keeping bodies physically active, there is an urgent need for an educational, cultural and social context.

    According to the Active Ageing Index Analytical Report (UNECE, Integration and participation of older persons in society, 2009) the involvement of older persons (age 55-74) in education varies among the 28 EU countries from 0.2% to 19.3%.

    Based on the data collected, the research team concluded upon an innovative course framework to improve the skills of the educators and staff working with seniors.
