Sumary of our Grundtvig Learning Partnerships Project- «Active Body + Active Mind= Healthy Senior»
Prospective
partners are adult education organizations from Poland, Czech Republic,
Finland, Greece, Portugal, Slovakia and Turkey, which focus on 50+ learners.
The Partnership we want to form meets the expectations of the Active Aging Year
2012 as it is prepared by seniors and
for seniors . The partners coordinate educational activities for their 50+ members and wider public and want to
exchange experience and learn from each other about various aspects of senior citizens’
physical and mental well-being (art, music, sports, eating habits, alternative
medicine, mental disorders in seniors but also volunteering activities as part
of seniors’ social inclusion .
To start
with each participating institution will identify through a questionnaire
learners who are willing to participate in this project before, during and
after mobilities.Project activities will consist of:
• home education
Since the project aims at people who are no longer within formal education, we will start English language course and ICT course to improve their communication skills in a foreign language and in writing e-mails, etc. for their easy communication
• mobilities to partner countries
• organization of hosting our project partners: program, presentation on adult education in their country, visit to a local adult education institution, workshop, cultural visit, evaluation of the mobility.
Partners will equally share project tasks and disseminate results via their websites, local press and blog created for the learners as forum for exchange of ideas, cooking recipes, descriptions of activities and exercises. Finally the project will be described on the European Shared Treasure forum.
