CG3: Education, Learning and Active Ageing: Competences for Work and Life

Co-Moderator: Prof. Vanna Boffo

Active Ageing, if it wants to release all its potential, cannot be an emergency measure referring only to the elderly persons, but must be prepared throughout the Life Course. There is, in fact, a close correlation between the development of Life Skills in formal, informal and informal experiences and the enabling factors for active aging. To understand this transition (life-profession-skills development) it is important to pay attention to some aspects:

  1. Policies of active ageing and transition care (Policy level)
  2. The professional histories of workers and retired persons (Ideographical level)
  3. Strategies that connect the demand for training and the care of the transition (Continuing educational level)

A comparative and transnational analysis between these levels can be of great interest in order to stimulate educational policy making processes.
