โถObjectives
- Raise awareness among students about the social, cultural, political and economic implications of ageing, analysing its impact at local, national and international levels. - Promote interdisciplinary and international work with English as the working language. - Bring students, their families and teachers closer to senior citizens' associations through visits, collaborations and volunteering. - Establish contact with political representatives at different levels to strengthen civic participation. - Recognise the similarities and differences in this situation in Europe (Atlantic Europe: Sweden and Germany, and Mediterranean Europe: Spain and Italy), seeking solutions and possible improvements. - Promote the use of ICT, intergenerational activities and a flipped learning model that places students at the forefront of awareness campaigns, podcasts, videos, apps and digital spaces. - Creation of educational materials (handbooks, learning units) and informative materials (InfoPoints, press, social networks) that can form part of the curriculum and generate social impact. - Promotion of the internationalisation process of the coordinating centre, as well as its links with other European centres.
โถActivities
- Visits, learning and volunteering in associations and centres for the elderly, nursing homes and local institutions dedicated to the elderly in each of the partner countries. - Conducting interviews with professionals involved in caring for the elderly, retired teachers, grandparents, neighbours and representatives of the administration, gathering experiences and good practices. - Creation of weekly physical activity plans and healthy diets adapted to the elderly. - Digital literacy and digital skills improvement activities aimed at older people, with an emphasis on cybersecurity. - Writing Christmas cards to older people living in centres in different countries. - Recording podcasts by students summarising the content covered. - Creation of awareness campaigns and reflection days in the centres and on social media (website and Instagram), using posters, infographics, videos and audio files. - Preparation of summary sheets (handbooks and learning units) at each stage of the project as a tool for consolidating and transferring results. - Continuous and final assessment to evaluate the steps taken.
