The project “PAGES” aimed to support the global combat on ageism and to foster intergenerational cohesion at community level, by upskilling adult educators/ community workers on how to engage older adults in learning. It planned the co-creation of an Intergenerational programme, using creativity and culture. By implementing the PAGES project, partners wanted to: 1. Promote awareness around the importance to talk and counteract ageism in society - creating a campaign on social media with materials that can be replicated; 2.Upskill adult educators on how they can engage older adults in lifelong learning activities in the community, by involving them in an action-learning programme - developing a training course; 3. Combat interpersonal and self-directed ageism by intergenerational non-formal education activities, targeting young and old people - with the design and conception of an intergenerational programme using arts and culture; 4. Strengthen the European collaboration between partner organisations in the field of ageing, by endorsing the global campaign to fight ageism - besides the joint collaboration, partners aimed to increase their cooperation with a learning, teaching and teaching and training activity together.
