Education should play an important role in all stages of human life and it is true for senior age as well. It can help prepare people for their old age and contribute significantly to making the old age more enjoyable, more dignified and more independent. Stretching the self-sufficiency period of the elderly citizens will have a profound positive impact on the whole society, not just the seniors.To address the need for providing high quality education to the elderly we set our objective to develop an innovative education program for seniors which will be able to deliver not only immediate goals of mastering the training topics, but also - and even more significantly - to contribute to overall well-being of participants by stimulating their social and spiritual activity. To accomplish this goal we have to move away from one-way mode of information exchange, which is prevalent today in education of seniors, to a two-way mode. It implies for us that, among other things, during all stages of the program preparation we will pay special attention to the issue of actual outcomes, answering the question: To what degree are the desired training goals met? Since mental and physical wellness are among the top priority themes for the elderly, we chose to address the subjects of physical well-being, spiritual well-being, social involvement and managing personal tasks of day-to-day living in the training portfolio. It is expected that the complete education program, when finished, will be covered in 100 – 150 hours of classroom instruction. The course should fill the gap between independent and active, mostly well-educated, students of universities of the third age on one hand and third age academies which do not require from the attendees much more than showing up for the activity, on the other hand.Our partnership is a transnational body formed by five institutions:The coordinator ACZ, an adult training organization from Prague, Czech Republic;Provincia di Livorno Sviluppo, social programs development company of Province of Livorno;Fjölmennt from Reykjavik, Iceland, life-long learning center for adult learners;KMOP, social innovation development NGO from from Athens, Greece;University for Adult Education Celje from Slovenia, adult education public institution.Implementation of the project will be executed in six logical segments:1. Course Analysis and Design2. Course Development3. Teaching and Evaluation Methods4. Application Verification – the piloting program5. Dissemination Activities6. Project ManagementThe principal results of the project include delivery of six intellectual outputs:OUTPUT 1: Analysis of Health and Wellness Education Topics for SeniorsThe study will examine suitability of learning topics for seniors with the goal maximizing potential benefits the education program can achieve with regard to its target audience.OUTPUT 2: Course PlanThe Course Plan describes in detail the structure and the contents of the course. The course total length will be between 100 and 150 class-hours.OUTPUT 3: Course Learning MaterialsLearning Materials constitute teaching/learning texts for the trainees and trainers who will participate in the education program. The contents, prepared in six languages (CZ, DE, EN, GR, IT, SI) will provide learning support to the topics laid out in the Course Plan.OUTPUT 4: Teacher's Guide and Evaluation KitThe product provides methodology for teaching and evaluating the course. It complements products O2 and O3 to form the core educational outputs of the project implementation.OUTPUT 5: Application VerificationThis activity will field-test the new course, evaluate its quality and effectiveness and will help to make final adjustments to the course contents and education methodology. At least 50 trainees will enroll into the piloting program.OUTPUT 6: Promotional VideoThe video information material provides introductory information about the core educational products developed by the partnership to potential students and to the stakeholders.The target group of seniors are intended to be the biggest benefits recipients of the project implementation. Their participation in the education program can help to prepare them for their old age and contribute significantly to extending their self-sufficiency.All participating partnership organizations will benefit substantially through empowerment of their employees and acquisition of new innovative products developed by the consortium. Their abilities to cooperate internationally will grow and their extended know-how will improve their performance capacity.On the local, regional and also national level we hope to see in longer term utilization of this education programs by peer adult education organizations. On the international level we wish to see a general acceptance of the need to increase the quality of education delivered to seniors with regard to monitoring and evaluation of actual training outcomes.
