Seniors Learn in Different Ways
The main focus of this project for the 50+ generation comprises measures to enhance language skills and studying the
special requirements of education for senior citizens. The special requirements of the 50+ about foreign languages and
cultures shall be explored by use of evaluation forms and experience reports from participating institutions. Also,
bilateral meetings of teachers accompanied by seniors’ pupils will contribute to the exchange of knowledge gained
through experience. Apart from attending a language course, the above-mentioned measures to enhance the language
skills of the 50+ can include the change to get to know people in other countries and/or find out more about one another
via internet and letters. In addition to that, there is an optional exchange of teachers and/or senior pupils. Ideally,
practising sports and/or dance with inhabitants of the guest- nation becomes a test of both sportive and lingual abilities.
Besides, it gives rise finding things one has in common with each other and the feeling of community, friendship and/or
sportive comradeship.
Pen pal friendships, internet and the like enable participants of language courses to develop a serious interest in positive
feelings toward foreign European people, languages and cultures. Additionally, they are encouraged to give feedback in
private or public.
The whole knowledgebase of experiences and information on acquiring languages and learning about cultures
documented in the course of this project will be summed up in a brochure in the final phase of the project.
