The “Intergenerational learning on the workplace: networking opportunities” conference is the final event of the IGTrain Project, which aims to train experienced workers to pass on their knowledge to the young employees in their workplace.

The first part of the conference will be dedicated to two main topics: the analysis of funding and networking opportunities concerning intergenerational learning and the sharing of good practices amongst European projects. In this context, Cecilia Liljegren, Project Officer of EACEA (Unit Erasmus+: Schools, Vocational Training, Adult Education, Platforms) will give a presentation on the EACEA website and will provide a short overview of the funding opportunities managed by the VET team. Karine Nicolay, EPALE coordinator for Flanders, and Michèle Mombeek, EPALE coordinator for Brussels and Wallonia, will present the opportunities offered by the Platform, particularly in terms of exploitation of results and networking, while the IGTrain Project Partners will participate in a discussion on good practices exchanges with partners of the Intergenerational Learning Partnership Over 55 Project and the OPC-SFC Project.

The second part of the conference will be an interactive workshop where participants will be given the opportunity to jointly find new chances for the development of common projects and activities, share good practices, discuss project results and their future possible uses and development. Then, the main achievements will be shared with the entire audience of the conference and further analyzed.

The closing cocktail-dinner offered to the participants will be an opportunity for further discussion and networking.

The conference takes place at Espace Monte Paschi Belgio -Avenue d’Auderghem 22 - Brussels (Belgium).
