As a result of demographic changes – the ageing of our society- the demand for and the nature of lifelong learning also changes. People will need to stay active longer than before and will therefore need training to remain so. Education needs to adapt to the specific needs of older learners and, more specifically, older workers in terms of knowledge and competence management, didactic approaches, services, organisation, use of ICT, etc. The partnership sets out to raise awareness of those needs and to look at different approaches to keep older learners socially, intellectually and professionally active as long as possible. Through a series of study visits and workshops involving staff and members of the target group of older learners, the partnerships wants to stimulate reflection, research, and good practice about learning at more advanced aged. It wants to share the results of that collaborative work beyond the partnership as easily accessible ICT-based content with other adult education organisations.
