The European Commission, thanks to its Grundtvig Program, has identified as a priority reaching out to adults who are facing social problems and giving a second chance for adults out of or excluded from the public education system.

Health education, is an essential part of informal adult education and is a key factor in improving the health and the quality of life of older adults.

The EHLE Project will mainly focus on:

Understanding how messages on healthy lifestyles are perceived in different groups within society and how to address the most vulnerable and the less educated.

Understanding how information on medication, food, use of alcohol, tabacco and physical activity is given to older adults through labelling, advertising, marketing and other channels.
