Our society is an ageing on one. According to the 2011 year EU census the ratio of the 65+ citizens is 17% and this ratio will be 29.9% by the year 2050. This situation means a huge challenge to the society and to the social care system too. Elderly people easily lose their quality of life, can cope harder with every day challenges and also can lose their personal autonomy as they rely on the help of other people to secure their everyday needs. Also a big issue is the lack of personal connections, interactions. Elderly people often have problems with travelling and in a longer term it can lead to the loss of friends. These people are important members of our society. They gained valuable experiences in their work, part time activities, they were attendants of many interesting or important historic events and it would be a great loss if these experiences and memories would disappear with their owners. Modern ICT devices and online services can help to prevent or defer the above detailed difficulties. Today's internet based services can help to stay in touch with friends and relatives, can provide health preserving services, can give platforms to share memories, hobbies and knowledge. With our project we helped elderly people to use ICT services to support their everyday life, to raise their quality of life and to help them to prevent their personal autonomy as long as it is possible. To reach this goal we elaborated an intergeneration study concept. In the frame of this we prepared a video guide for the younger relatives of seniors about how to teach the basics of IT to seniors. This intergeneration study concept gives the foundations for further learning of senior persons. In addition to this we prepared 60 video-based learning materials for older adults covering everyday issues that can be solved or managed by the help of online services (online shopping, communication etc). 20 videos cover international topics with local language versions and the rest cover local, country specific themes with only local language version. We also developed a special web platform after an international survey and needs analysis to host the teaching materials and to serve as a community building and knowledge sharing platform. By the development of this platform the ergonomic needs of the target group were taken in account.Finally, we prepared a guide for the seniors how can they leave their digital footprint on the internet. This intellectual output covers the topics of blog writing, commenting, photo and video making and safe browsing on the internet.With the project we managed to drive the attention of younger generations to the importance of intergeneration solidarity. We also helped the older adults to understand the benefits of the modern online services and gave them useful curriculums that fit their learning needs.

<< Objectives >>The main objective of C.H.A.N.G.E.R.S.-2.0 is to improve seniors’ inclusion in adult education by providing access to flexible learning opportunities on green, energy and sustainable topics. By developing targeted training material and toolkits, and considering their specific needs, we expect that seniors can be more aware of these issues, can have a positive impact on their environment, and can lead a more sustainable lifestyle.<< Implementation >>The partnership develops adapted materials for rural seniors to improve their access to adult education learning/training materials and opportunities on specific topics which help them fight against climate change and energy poverty, and contribute to sustainability. In order to reach this goal, we not only develop training material and toolkits for them, but we also create methodologies for teaching seniors on sustainable and green household topics locally and from transgenerational aspect.<< Results >>Results of C.H.A.N.G.E.R.S.-2.0 will be a complex training material on green and sustainable topics addressing rural senior citizens translated to the partners’ languages. We will also create related methodology and toolkits for the successful implementation of the knowledge transfer with two different approaches addressing the special needs of this social group. One will rely on training opportunities with the advantage of local proximity, the other will provide a transgenerational approach.
