The main idea of the project is through non-formal learning to improve and encourage the participation of senior
people, especially women, in voluntary activities of NGO, local communities and social work services, in providing
moral and social palliative assistance required by elderly people. The project would also stimulate social participation of
senior and elderly people thus improving their active quality of life on the basis of the principle “Senior for Elderly”.
The project aims to share good practice among participating partners from Lithuania, Cyprus, Geek, Czech, Nederland,
and Hungary through workshops, electronic connections and information placements on the web-site. The project will
cooperate closely with NGOs, local communities, State institutions, government agencies. With this it will ensure both
the understanding of the need of the target groups as well as the dissemination of the results and products. The working
language will be English so some participants will improve their language skills though language training. A wider
