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.
