Aesthetic and Artistic Activity for Silver Age
The aim of the AAASA project is to integrate the elderly to a social activity through the art in the field of cross-cultural
exchange. The project AAASA is seeking for effective ways to enhance the quality of life for elderly. Partners from
different countries work together, change experience, research, create new methods, programs, study new themes of
social integration trough art and use it in practice – in daily organizations work and international exchanges of elderly
learners. To locate all this collected and useful information we will create the project web site and the book-brochure as
“Social integration trough art”. On purpose to increase the quality of communication we plan to organize the sessions of
learning English for different participants, which will improve this skill while artistic sessions. Project activity will refill
cross-cultural exchanges of elderly learners and the results of previous year activity will be used. In the meetings the
participant learners will have artistic workshops, natural exchanging of aesthetic and emotional experience, art therapy,
seminars, sessions with people of the same age from different countries. The participants from different European
countries will work, create together making paintings, pictures, sculptures, fancyworks, straw works, and ceramics also
essays etc. We will organize the exhibitions of their works created in meeting and we will visit similar organizations.
The material come from these meetings will be located to web site and new book- brochure as “Art of Silver Age”.
