Description
Objective:
This measure is designed to bring together researchers and experts in the subject of promoting the education of older people, specifically those from less educated backgrounds. Educational inequalities between the generation, between those in the same generation of older people and between older people in the different Member States are growing ever larger with consequences for well being, health and social exclusion. The meeting is designed to look at the evidence for the health value of education when undertaken later in life, focusing on those of low educational achievement who are now in retirement. Ways of developing educational interventions with this least privileged group of older people will be examined in terms of European experiences. Using an adapted form of a health promotion intervention, designed originally to develop young people's life resources, will be discussed as a way of approaching this group of older people.
