Project Summary

As a part of the “Silver HERITage” project, we plan to develop a formal and non-formal learning framework related to the organization of classes on the topic of healthy nutrition.
The elderly delivering their knowledge and experience will help us to implement the task. Getting to know the methods and solutions used in countries of different cultures – as well as the cuisine and traditions of these countries – will contribute to raising the level of knowledge, qualifications and affect the high quality of our materials.
The “Silver HERITage” project is a response to the Council’s recommendation of 19 December 2016 on Upskilling Pathways: New Opportunities for Adults, which indicates the need to launch paths to improve basic skills for selected adult target groups.
Raising the skills and competences of adults significantly contributes to achieving the strategic objectives of “Europe 2020”.
This project is directed to educators: teachers, tutors and instructors who professionally and reliably educate people at risk of social exclusion through low qualifications, low basic skills, disability, age etc. The expected number of project participants is approximately 70 people.
It will consist in developing and testing in practice innovative models of educational support for selected groups of adults (people with low basic skills – according to the 3-step scheme in accordance with the EU Council Recommendation).
One of the results of our project will be an intergenerational cookbook, containing good practices, original recipes of older generations, adapted and modified to today’s realities and modern needs, as well as interesting workshop suggestions. It will be available, among others on the websites of our organizations and the European Platform for Adult Learning in Europe (EPALE).
Classes and workshops will be conducted using an innovative pedagogical method of Action-Learning. It allows project participants to actively search for new solutions and learn through experience, which for people from disadvantaged areas or migrants, as well as people with various disabilities, is an invaluable value in the entire educational process.
As a result of the activities, an international group of new educators, socially and culturally active, working for people with fewer opportunities will be created.
Thanks to partner cooperation we will get to know the cuisine of our regions / countries. In addition, we will promote healthy eating habits and principles of healthy eating, or the idea of not wasting food.
We are aware that all our project partners are selected right and that we can learn a lot from each other. This is the reason why we decided to initiate this cooperation, which aims to create a joint training program and develop materials that contain solutions and innovations.
The results will be disseminated in open Internet resources in the national languages of the project partners.
Improving the competence of educators will be a valuable contribution to the European area of skills and qualifications. It will have a local, national and European dimension and the final recipients will be students with fewer social opportunities, including the disabled.
Good cooperation, efficient and regular communication and partner meetings will be a condition for successful implementation of planned project activities.
The project will provide formal and non-formal educational opportunities with a European dimension.
