SET - Knowledge transfer on education in later life
Systematic and meaningful education of seniors is generally a problem that does not stand at the priority of the society's
interest. Lack of interest can be observed both on the side of educational institutions and (especially) on the side of the seniors
themselves. Particularly remarkable is this problem in the new EU member countries. This project objective is to collect, to
compare and to evaluate experiences with senior life-long education organizing in partner´s countries both in countries with
traditional heavy geriatic social programme (Sweden, Austria), in countries with heavy social programme for minorities
(Spain) and in new EU countries (Czech Republic). Based on this data the project partners will define basic ideas how to
increase senior interest for further education, to mobilize their inTelectual potential, to swatch from letargy and resignation.
Using such instruments we´ll demonstrate the practical impact for everyday seniors´ life. For most seniors the practical
utilisation is the main criterion of their doing. The accomplishment of this task will be accommodated with generally
formulated theses, as well as examples of practical cases in particular demonstrating how the seniors can apply the outcome of
their lifetime education in the practice of their lives. On the other hand the effort of the investigators will be to address
education institutions in the project's partner countries and make them interested in expanding the offer of study possibilities
for the seniors. It should be an offer that will be compelling for them and that will really enrich their lives in some way. The
third task will be to formulate a principle of seniors' lifetime education contribution in general from the corporate, social point
of view. Conclusions: the basic project objective is the knowledge transfer on education for seniors among project partners.
