ELDER supports seniors coming from restructuring sectors on transmitting their knowledge to other generations. The main aims are related to: active participation of seniors in continuing learning processes; share experiences and good practices developed at European Level in the field of knowledge transfer among generations; identify and analyse the necessary competences to favour the intergenerational knowledge transfer.

In this way the project promotes active ageing, volunteer work and the social participation, reinforcing their social contribution to other (younger) people learn from their experience.
