Learning and Active Ageing, eLearning Papers nº 29
Hoy traemos a este espacio el nuevo número de eLearning Papers nº 29
The ageing of the European population raises issues in almost all
aspects of life. Active ageing in Europe calls for a new vision of older
people and their social roles that are more in line with the reality of
the 21st century.
Lifelong learning is a key component of active ageing, ensuring to
develop up-to-date skills right to the end of one’s professional career
and continuing post-retirement to improve an individual’s social
functioning and well-being and increase the potential for older adults
to contribute actively to society through paid employment, volunteering,
active citizenship and self-help for independent living.
The relationship between higher educational attainment and living
longer with improved health has been established in many countries.
Furthermore, the roles of older people in workplace, or as volunteers or
informal caregivers, contribute to their personal health and the
wellbeing of communities.
This issue of eLearning Papers explores what teaching methods and
learning environments are being used effectively to promote lifelong
learning among older people. Enrichment and skill building educational
programmes for older people must be continuously supported, promoted and
facilitated as part of the active ageing process.
