ASLECT approaches the presence of senior people in cultural organizations, projecting on them a double perspective: as users/beneficiaries of educational and cultural programmes and equally as learning resources for developing such programmes. In ASLECT perspective, seniors are both resources and beneficiaries of learning, while cultural organizations must strengthen their capacities to treat them as such, to support and to promote their integration as active citizens in the local communities. ASLECT will identify a series of Good practices on Seniors Involvement in Education and Cultural life, will elaborate training materials aimed to help cultural professionals to work with seniors, developing educational programmes with them and for them.

ASLECT – Active Seniors Learn, Educate, Communicate and Transmit

Project number: 511842-LLP-2010-RO-KA4-KA4MP 
With the support of the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Union.
ASLECT is a project funded under KA4 Valorisation sub-programme, which approaches the presence of senior people in cultural organizations, projecting on them a double perspective: as users/beneficiaries of educational and cultural programmes, and equally as learning resources for developing such programmes.
From the perspective of ASLECT, seniors are both (re)sources and beneficiaries of learning, while cultural organizations must strengthen their capacities to treat them as such, to support and promote their integration as active citizens in the local communities.
ASLECT will identify a series of Good Practices on Seniors’ Involvement in Education and in Cultural Life, will elaborate training materials aimed at helping cultural professionals to work with seniors, developing educational programmes with them and for them, will produce a set of Recommendations for Cultural Organisations working with Seniors and, through promotional activities at national and European levels, will raise awareness on the potential contribution of seniors to the educational and cultural field.
Our project is focused on the valorisation of results and experiences from Lifelong learning program.

Implementation period: December 2010 – November 2012
