The partners have been working on the first result of the project: EngAGing Older Adults in Learning: a continuous professional development pathway for adult educators

Ageist attitudes are connected with the way professionals intervene with older population and many times discrimination arises from own steretypes about ageing, even fi not conscious. We have discovered that educational activities are an effective intervention to combat ageism. The first result is a training course that will improve the skills of adult educators in engaging older adults in lifelong learning.

To support the combat against ageism we have put together an awareness campaign.   We have launched it on October 1^st, celebrating  the international day of older persons. You can see the campaign on Facebook, Instagram and the Pages website.
