Dear EPALE colleagues,
International Day of Older Persons and World Teachers’ Day
To celebrate International Day of Older Persons, EPALE published a lot of exciting content. If you haven’t already, check out our case study on the CINAGE project where Jennifer Granville from Leeds Beckett University talks about an innovative way of using filmmaking in active ageing (DE, EN, ES, FR, IT, PL). You can also read a compelling piece about using physical activities in informal learning with older persons (EN).
October was also the month of World Teachers’ Day. Don’t miss out the inspirational story about how an IT specialist followed his passion for teaching to become an educator, and how he got involved in the HIHTAST project (EN, NL). And for all teachers and trainers out there we have an interesting blog post with tips on how to engage adult learners (EN, ET).
