“FRISM 50+” Finding, Reaching and involving senior migrants 50+
Labour migration brought millions of workers, mostly from Mediterranean countries, to Europe; their presumed
temporary stay became a permanent one. At present the majority of these workers, are now retired facing their old age in
the country of immigration. Social exclusion, social isolation increases with the passing of time without the linguistic
and educational and social skills, required to overcome this situation. Therefore, one of the main goals must be to
encourage various forms of self aid organisation among the elderly migrants. Another is the adjustment of the
educational system to meet elderly migrant’s needs.
FRISM 50+ will look at ways how to find, reach and involve senior migrants (50+) in learning opportunities.
In FRISM 50+ every partner of the learning partnership has its own topic to try out. Exchange of information and
expertise will take place through visits and joint activities involving learners and network organisations. From this, the
partnership will work towards producing a final product published on the partner Web sites. Throughout the duration of
the project learners and people in the 50+ age group will play an active role in activities, visits and the production of the
final product.
