The lifelong learning needs of older learners should be a priority for education providers who need to develop high quality and specific training programmes.
At the same time, intergenerational learning can contribute to social cohesion by promoting cooperation between different generations.
On Wednesday 28 October, starting from 10 a.m. CEST, EPALE will be hosting an online discussion on the social inclusion of the ageing population and intergenerational learning.
The discussion will include the following topics:
- What adult education policies and initiatives can support social inclusion of older learners?
- Has there been more attention to their situation in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic?
- What target groups have you been working with, and what would be your recommendations to ensure that adults continue to play an active role in society as they age?
We invite you to share your experiences and reflections during our online discussion, facilitated by EPALE Thematic coordinator Gina Ebner, Secretary-General of EAEA.
Comments will be open on 19 October so participants can introduce themselves and post their comments in advance.
Join our online discussion!

Different learning speed
I agree it is vital to promote lifelong learning among the older generation and I think learning should be structured in an informal may where it will stem out the individual's experience in life. Maybe they can also create their own learning paths.

On the one hand, I think it is important to make it clear to whom an educational program is aimed. This can include that in a course announcement you also consider the learning pace and the context (professional or private concern).
On the other hand, perhaps not all traditional forms of learning are suitable for intergenerational learning? Perhaps we need different forms, such as perhaps project-oriented learning rather than the traditional (language course) teaching.

Technology
Yes I agree the ubiquitous use of technology has paved the way for new learning opportunities. This gives us ample opportunities to focus on rich educational resources to create a cohesive learning environment.

Needs of Learners
This is highly interesting and as outlined, I think the expectations we all have about learning vary. The participants had different expectations and that is why more time was needed from end. Moreover, as we grow up acquisition of knowledge differs when compared to the younger participants.

Good point
This is a very interesting discussion and I agree with your frame of thought. Including participants from different walk of life will ensure peer learning since during discussions they can learn from each other's experience.

Yes I agree this is extremely important. This will also address the generation gap since from a younger age people can think how to improve the quality of life of tomorrow.

Go where the target group is
- Offer services where the old people are, because even if an educational institution is barrier-free, it is often difficult to get there.

Do 90 year old count?
Hi this is amazing. We can learn a lot from the older generation since throughout their life they gathered a lot of experience. Their reality is totally different from ours due to the generation gap but their experience can help us shape a better future.
