▶Objectives
Through the implementation of this project, we aimed to activate seniors, support active aging, and facilitate the acquisition of new knowledge. Our goal was to create an environment where seniors could not only learn but also share their experiences and establish new friendships. This approach seeks to enhance their quality of life and strengthen their sense of worth in society. At the same time, we aimed to connect nations and cultures, reinforcing mutual understanding and collaboration among seniors from different countries. We believe that through joint activities and the sharing of diverse perspectives, a rich cultural environment will emerge, enriching both individuals and the entire community. This interconnectedness will contribute to a deeper understanding between various cultures and values, which is crucial for the harmonious development of society. With this project, we also strive to promote innovative approaches in the education and activation of seniors, thus contributing to their long-term sustainability and strengthening their position in society.
▶Activities
Specifically, we implemented the planned activities in the project: Excursion - Participants had the opportunity to visit historical and cultural sites, fostering mutual acquaintance and friendship. Hybrid Module - Historical Contexts of My Region - This module provided participants with an overview of the history and culture of their region, strengthening their sense of identity and belonging. Online Module - Autonomy and Independence - This offered seniors access to essential information and skills needed to achieve greater self-sufficiency. In-Person Modules - These focused on key areas such as social protection, human rights, cybersecurity, and financial literacy, providing seniors with valuable knowledge and skills. Project management, curriculum preparation, and working meetings were integral to the entire process. All activities were positively evaluated by both partners and participants, with partners already actively preparing for the next joint project. This strengthened collaboration and created new opportunities for the education and personal development of seniors.
▶Impact
As planned, the outputs included educational modules complemented by excursions and cultural activities. The specific outcomes and results of our project included: - Creation of Educational Modules: Focused on financial literacy, digital skills, and cybersecurity for seniors. - Organization of Workshops and Seminars: Where seniors actively participated in practical activities and discussions. - Excursions and Cultural Events: Providing seniors with opportunities to explore local culture and build connections. - Certificate Distribution: Acknowledgment of program completion, enhancing participants' sense of achievement and self-confidence. These activities contributed to their active aging and the development of community bonds.
