Active ageing means the ability of individuals to lead a busy and productive life, both socially and economically, despite the passage of time. As part of active ageing, older people often engage in various types of activities, such as recreational, cultural, educational and volunteering activities. They also strengthen their physical health through regular exercise and a proper diet. Active ageing not only brings individual benefits in the form of better well-being and greater life satisfaction but also positively impacts society as a whole, counteracting social exclusion and contributing to maintaining the economic and social activity of older people.

As part of European cooperation, the E-Active project was created, focusing on adult education and increasing the activity and social integration of older people through the use of educational activities based on e-tools. The project additionally seeks to solve the challenge of digital transformation by developing participants' skills in the area of digital competencies, resistance to change, and using the full technological potential of technology. The partners of the E-Active project are Polibienestar, Association Generations, Fundacja Parasol, Social IT Software & Consulting, and the Institute of Entrepreneurship Development iED. Using modern technologies, we strive to promote social integration and improve the quality of life of seniors. The project includes: 

• development of a co-created training for professionals working with seniors based on information obtained from professionals and older people; 
• encouraging seniors to participate in society actively and motivating them to use new technologies; 
• developing a report on the needs of seniors and co-creating a curriculum for training content; 
• creating a set of activities in which seniors can engage using digital tools. 

They aim to develop digital skills, active ageing, social and civic activity and promote the principles of environmental sustainability, creating an e-tool that will encourage active ageing as an essential tool for both professionals and seniors.
