Welcome

The low enrolment of older workers in Lifelong Learning in Europe represents a waste of individual opportunities potential and a loss productive and economic potential. The Commission recognizes "that a change is needed in the way education and training is provided (flexible timetables, recognition of prior learning and more attractive training)". Trainers, teachers and guidance counsellors must, therefore, have the skills to offer attractive training and guidance orientation.

Top+ aims at

  • Identifying best and worse practices in lifelong learning, when addressed to older adults.

  • Creating a framework of knowledge on key-question to lifelong learning in later stages of life.

  • Analysing the needs of teachers and trainers of older adults in order to produce a study on their learning opportunities.

  • Defining a vocational expert profile to older adults trainers and foster an European standard.

  • Designing and developing a vocational training model to older adults teachers and trainers.

  • Creating an innovative multimedia-compendium
