Virk samfélagsleg þátttaka á efri árum og nám þvert á kynslóðir

Þegar litið er til lýðfræðilegra breytinga (demographic change) í Evrópu kemur í ljós að hlutfall eldra fólks í öllum Evrópusambandslöndunum er hátt og fer hækkandi. Þess vegna er afar áríðandi að boðið sé upp á hágæða námsefni, sem sniðið er að þörfum eldra fólks og að fólkið sjálft sé haft með í stefnumótun í símenntun og virkri þátttöku í samfélaginu.
Samkvæmt því sem fram kemur í stefnuramma Alþjóðaheilbrigðismála-stofnunarinnar (WHO) um virkni aldraðra, er hækkandi lífaldur fólks einn af stærstu áföngum sem mannkynið hefur náð. Á sama tíma er hann einnig ein stærsta áskorunin. Kröfur um félagslega og fjárhagslega þjónustu í löndunum helst í hendur við hækkandi lífaldur fólks. Einnig kemur fram hjá Alþjóðaheilbrigðismála-stofnuninni að lönd munu aðeins hafa efni á hækkandi hlutfalli eldra fólks í samfélaginu ef ríkisstjórnir, alþjóðleg samtök og borgaraleg samfélög innleiða virka stefnu og áætlanir þar sem heilsa, þátttaka og öryggi eldra fólks er í fyrirrúmi.
Til að einfalda þátttöku eldra fólks í þjóðfélaginu þurfum við að leita að tækifærum þar sem möguleikar þeirra nýtast sem best. Eldri borgarar eiga að hafa aðgang að menntun, menningu og samfélagsþjónustu til jafns við aðra þegna í landinu. Þeir þurfa að geta tekið fullan þátt í því félagsstarfi sem boðið er upp á og verið virkir, sjálfstæðir og heilbrigðir þegar aldurinn færist yfir.
Þess vegna ætti símenntun eldri nemenda að vera forgangsatriði hjá fræðsluaðilum og þurfa þeir að þróa hágæða og sérhæfðar námsáætlanir sniðnar að þörfum þessa hóps.
Ein leið til að stuðla að félagslegri samheldni er nám þvert á kynslóðir, sem einnig hvetur ólíkar kynslóðir til samvinnu. Við höfum séð mörg frumkvæðisverkefni og aðgerðir á undanförnum árum og möguleikar á samvinnu milli kynslóða er í auknum mæli viðurkennd sem aðferð til að stuðla að samheldnu, kraftmiklu og fullkomlega lýðræðislegu þjóðfélagi.

- Vinnur þú með eldri nemendum?
- Með hvaða markhópum vinnur þú?
- Þekkir þú stefnumál, áætlanir og frumkvæðisverkefni sem beint er til eldri nemenda í landi þínu, héraði eða borg?
- Hvaða markhóp leggja þeir áherslu á?
- Hvað heldur þú að þurfi að gerast til að vera viss um að fullorðnir haldi áfram að vera virkir í þjóðfélaginu þegar aldurinn færist yfir?
Deildu reynslu þinni með samfélagi okkar. Það getur þú gert með að setja efni inn á bloggið okkar, fréttasíðuna, viðburðadagskrána og verkfærakistuna!

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 examples.

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.
