Senior Education for Active Living - SEAL

The SEAL - Senior Education for Active Living project aims to support the functioning of senior citizens in society through the development of innovative tools for the education and activation of seniors. It is a response to the growing demand for innovative methods of supporting seniors in relation to the observable social changes. Within the project there was an exchange of experience and good practice in partnership of international organizations and institutions dealing with the daily education of adults (including seniors) and supporting their functioning in the local environment. The project was implemented in partnership of 5 international organizations: PL, TR, IT (x2), Cz. The organisations have not implemented a project within the Erasmus + programme together so far, however each of the organisations has rich experience in implementing educational projects, including international ones. Project results include: a set of educational and activation tools for working with seniors; a guide containing a set of guidelines for seniors and their families, professionals involved in everyday work for the benefit of seniors; a set of recommendations for decision makers making key decisions in the area of local support systems for seniors; a guide on coping with social isolation and limitations on the example of the Covid-19 pandemic. Project cooperation lasted 30 months (due to the pandemic the project was extended by 6 months). Project implementation time: 01.12.2018-31.05.2021 In the framework of the project cooperation were organized 5 international meetings (three away: PL,IT,TR; two on-line: CZ, IT) with the participation of representatives of partner organizations. In order to disseminate the results of the project in each partner country at the end of the project meetings were organized for representatives of the local community (including NGOs and representatives of local governments).In addition, an international on-line seminar on education and activation of seniors was organized, during which the developed project results were presented.
