The project has been funded with support from the
European Commission.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project LLLE (Learning in Later Life - Europe)
has partners from Poland, Turkey, Spain and France.
This project LLLE was approved by the EU in July
2011 and runs until August 2013.
The project aims to exchange forms of learning in
later life and
to investigate some areas that may have great
importance for learning activities in later life,
and in which many older people are engaged, such as
handcrafts, culture, arts and music. During the
project the participating organisations will share
their experiences and know how in this field, having
insights into practice in other countries and
collecting good practices.
The LLLE project will
enable older people and teachers from different
countries, with different cultures and religions to
meet and to share their experiences and knowledge.
The approach to lifelong learning through practices
like doing handicrafts, painting or singing for
instance will bring people together - overbearing
cultural or language barriers. In this way the LLLE
project will improve exchanges between older people
from different countries, with different cultures
and religions, promote inter-generational
activities, participation in the University of the
Third Age, active citizenship and the spirit of
European citizenship.
The LLLE partnership
consists of organisations and older people and will
cooperate to establish and expand a network for life
long learning in senior age focused on organisations
and older people themselves in the field of
handicrafts, culture, arts and music.
