Project Summary

The project “Healthier Europeans – a healthier Community” was prepared in cooperation with 5 institutions providing adult education. Our partnership includes Poland, Slovakia, Latvia, Romania and Portugal. The partnership has been created to service in order to implement activity programs addressed to people 50+. The overall goal of the project is the implementation of 90 hours of classes for 30 students in each of the partner organizations. Classes are focused on the education of people 50+, how to care for a health and mental well-being.
The classes have got own leading topics connected with the Erasmus+ Program and European identity.
In the first phase of the project the educators will join to a short training program for employees. Each of sending organization will direct 8 educators to the mobility.

to strengthen the effects of local activities, we will organize “learning mobility” for students – 5 meetings, one in each partner country. 5 students from each of sending organisation will participate in each meeting abroad.

1) strengthen the motivation to develop habits to take care of mental health and well-being,
