CONTENT

Spain is a country with a very high rate of older adults over 55 years old. Everybody is aware of the worries of state authorities on this phenomenon and, specially, on lifelong learning. Education is seen as one of the most suitable ways to keep an active and quality ageing for older adults.

The aim of this project is to deal with different aspects involved in the education of older adults in a joined way by using information and communications technologies.

The team will design, develop, implement and analyze a virtual interactive learning environment based on workshops.
