EduSenNet project- how well do you know it?
Comenius University and its University of the Third Age coordinate the Erasmus + project Educational Senior Network (EduSenNet) uniting the efforts of seven EU partners from Slovakia, Czech Republic, Germany, Sweden, Spain and the Netherlands. Other partners from Poland and Austria focus on the learning of older people and possibilities for inclusion of other people from rural communities.
Objectives, needs and outcomes are catered for in various ways by summarising experiences; encouraging older people to take part in learning activities; developing interest in learning through participation in activities designed to promote and extend knowledge and skills.
The project examines the objectives, motivation and barriers to learning of the older persons who take part in the programmes as well as those who do not. The introduction of new programmes and the upgrading of old ones will involve older people in activities more suited to their needs.
EduSenNet project has been designed to gather and share information, make wider and better use of all these rich experiences, building upon them, analysing and assessing the value and impact on older persons, disseminating research evidence, and creating a network to do all this.
The second project meeting took place in Alicante in October 2015.
The third project meeting took place in Uppsala in April 2016.
