Second ConferenceNuremberg 2012Workshops & Presentations

Theme 1 - Workshop 1: Policy and FinancingOlder Workers learning at work and their financing, Christopher Brooks, Head of Policy - Work and Learning, AGE UKOlder workers failing to engage in workplace training is damaging to people’s career aspirations, employers’ skills needs, and to the economy. As the UK Government has reduced public funding for workplace training, a greater role for financing is expected to fall on employers, and particularly where older workers are concerned this is far from certain to be delivered. All parties need to step up and engage more deeply in training the 50+ workforce if we are to ensure that the majority are actually able to remain economically active into their later life.

Policies supporting entrepreneurship and transfer of skills in later life, Catalin Martin, Romanian Institute for the Education of Adults, TimisoaraEntrepreneurship could be seen both as mindset/attitude and alternative for entering on the labour market. The seniors experiences could be transfered to the youngsters in order to facilitate the development of skills, attitudes or businesses. There are several European programmes which offer financing for this kind of initiatives. Also, during this workshop will be presented several initiatives which turns seniors in real entrepreneurs, involved in business initiatives or just having entrepreneurial attitudes.

Theme 1 - Workshop 2: ProgrammesExamples of working conditions engaging older workers to stay in employment, Saskia-Fee Bender, Frankfurt University, Germany What motivates older workers to stay in employment and what keeps them from retiring early? How can employers be motivated to value the potential of their older employees? What role do images of ageing play, and what impact do different age generations have on their work relations? These are questions which will be explored in the workshop as well as the Human Resource policy measures which can support older workers to stay in employment.

Labour unions and their action towards active ageing, Robert Racké, President of FERPA/ETUC A presentation of the union’s action plan of the CES, FERPA and Committee of young CES for a project that is looking to be approved by the European Commission in its European Year 2012 for active ageing and intergenerational solidarity programme. What is most original in is that throughout it does not consist solely in a social survey but also addresses the problems that, young people, seniors et employees are faced with regarding employment, and aims at proposing directions for action, so as to solve them within an intergenerational solidarity frame. This project will be proposed in Larnaca (Cyprus) in the context of a conference organized by the Cypriot Presidency.

Theme 1: Learning, Active Ageing, Intergenerational Solidarity and the Employment SectorDay 1: 11.30 - 13.00


Theme 1 - Workshop 3: Validation and Quality AssuranceSomething Positive for a change – embedded assessment using Appreciative Inquiry. Judith Robinson, from Milton Keynes Appreciative Inquiry Network, UKTraditional methods of assessment look for a problem and find a solution, but whatever we focus on is what we find, so we find other problems. Appreciative Inquiry suggests that we look for moments of past success, and use these as the basis for assessment and planning. The energy this produces is endless because it is a living process.

Validation of acquired skills, José Carrero, Direction Régionale des Entreprises, de la concur-rence, de la consommation, du travail et de l’emploi Provence Alpes Côte d’AzurSince 2002, France has developed a provision for the recognition and validation of professional experience called “Validation of Acquired Experience” (VAE). This system allows the certification of knowledge and skills through a nationally recognised qualification; only the procedures for issuing remain different. With reference to a particular diploma, it is for the applicant to build a memorandum summarising precisely his (or her) experience(s) in relation to the diploma concerned, then pass an exam through an interview and a simulation of a professional situation before a professional jury. In France, about 15,000 people per year, 25 to 55 years, and of all levels, receive a certification through the VAE.

Theme 2 - Workshop 1: Policy and FinancingICT as an activating tool in lifelong learning of older adults, Gabriela Körting, ELLIL project, Ulm University, GermanyIn the domain of ICT use, there is a large gap between generations: older people still use Internet considerably less than the younger ones, eLearning as an education tools is not as widely used in the field of seniors’ education as in the education of the younger generations. This paper will concentrate on the benefits of application of ICT in seniors’ education and on barriers experienced by older learners as well as education providers in Europe and outlines possible solutions.

Policies for organising a transfer from younger to senior learners, Matej Cepin, Social Academy Ljubljana, SloveniaIn many environments, youth organizations are considered as autonomous spaces of young people not allowing members of other generations to enter and cooperate with. But the facts are far away from that. A research done among 50 youth leaders and youth workers in Slovenia showed that – with minor measures – youth organizations can become relevant and equally participative partners in various kinds of intergenerational learning projects. What can be done?

Theme 2: Learning, Active Ageing, Intergenerational Solidarity and the Education SectorDay 1: 14.30-16.00


Theme 2 - Workshop 2: ProgrammesHow Silver Workers can be Silver Learners. Opening Formal Education to Senior Leaners, Koen DePryck, Vrije Universiteit Brussel & Center for Adult Education Antwerpen (written contribution) and Suzy Mommaerts, CVO Antwerp, BelgiumAs a result of demographic change and the shortage of specialists in many fields, workers beyond the traditional age of retirement are increasingly in demand and their number is consequently growing in many industrialized countries. This raises questions about their ability to participate in the (formal) learning programmes needed to maintain up-to-date professional competences. In this presentation, we explore the implications of a systems perspective on the interaction between (professional) performance and learning for employment policies at the macro level and education and training at the micro level.

Programs using seniors as volunteer resources in formal education, John Kinnear, European Development Manager CSV, UKCSV’s Retired and Senior Volunteer Programme (RSVP) has thousands of older volunteers who support young people in formal education. In particular I will be sharing our experience of running the Grandmentors project that matches volunteer mentors (age 50+) with young people who are struggling with school / college / university or who are not in education but would like to be. I will also share experiences of our thousands of schools volunteers who support pupils of all ages in a range of ways. We have a contract with the Welsh government to deliver literacy support in schools as it is recognised that the volunteers make such a big difference. If you don’t work with older volunteers in this way at the moment, hopefully you will leave the workshop with lots of great ideas and want to set up something similar for yourself!

Theme 2 - Workshop 3: Validation and Quality AssuranceDeveloping teaching and learning intergenerational spaces between younger and older people- a win-win life enhancing experience:, Trudy Corrigan, Dublin City University, IrelandIn 2008 the DCU Intergenerational Learning Programme began as part of Trudy’s doctoral thesis study. This was founded to explore the benefits of engaging older adults and DCU students together in teaching, learning and research opportunities on the DCU campus. This presentation will outline the programme since it began and it will evaluate its current benefits in terms of creating a space on campus where older adults can meet and learn with third level students. It explores the opportunities which have been developed to promote the learning experiences of both cohorts of students and in addition it evaluates the benefits of developing the expertise of older people to support the learning of third level students.

Quality assurance systems related to using seniors in the formal education system, Gertrud Zant, Bayreuth, Germany


Theme 3 - Workshop 1: Policy and FinancingPolicies against social exclusion of the seniors, Solange Moll, in charge of Seniors at Municipality of Marseille, FranceThe Intergenerational approach is a powerful factor of social interaction and social cohesion, which has developed through the initiatives of associations, always at the forefront of innovation. It remains, however, that policies should take this idea and invest in its development to support its the broadcast and the leverage.

How the EY2012 is enhancing active ageing and intergenerational solidarity, Louise Richardson, Vice President Age-Platform EuropeThe European Year 2012 has provided the opportunity to enhance active ageing and intergenerational solidarity at both European and national levels. One of the desired legacies of EY2012 is to have an Age Friendly Europe by 2020. Training and life-long learning are the tools which will enable older people to participate more fully in the work place and in society in general and to help combat poverty and social exclusion and to build an equal society for all ages.

Theme 3 - Workshop 2: ProgrammesIntergenerational social lodging programme, Marlen Laurien, Mehrgenerationenhaus AmmerndorfMultigenerational houses in their individual forms offer the possibility of learning in an intergenerational context through personal encounters. The Multigenerational House makes it clear that this context is particularly important in rural areas. Offerings have to be specific, target group-orientated, and flexible.

Examples of senior volunteering in the social sector, Liam Carey, Third Age IrelandThird Age has a number of national projects throughout Ireland and involves over 1,000 older volunteers making a contribution to their communities through innovative initiatives that make a telling and positive contribution to Irish society. The Third Age’s vision is an Ireland and a world where the third age in life is valued and celebrated. Liam’s presentation will outline the work of Third Age and focus on specific programmes that have made a difference to the lives of many through senior volunteering in the social sector.

NGOs offering services for active ageing, “The House of Memories”, Ms. Hulya Kytö, Daisy Ladies, FinlandFor many years I have dreamed of a meeting place for immigrant elderly people.This dream is born through my work as executive director at DaisyLadies (organization for immigrant women in Finland). The Finnish social services meet very few elderly immigrants, as if they disappear when they turn 55 years old. Last spring, in April we have opened The Home of Memories for immigrant women. The home is situated in a service house in Turku,where we can work together also with finnish elderly people. Together we can learn about our different cultures through various activities.

Theme 3: Learning, Active Ageing, Intergenerational Solidarity and the Social SectorDay 1: 16.30-18.00


Theme 3 - Workshop 3: Validation and Quality AssuranceValorisation and Validation of know-how and social competences, Maren Satke, River Project, Die BeraterThe Grundtvig project RIVER (Recognition of Intergenerational Volunteering Experience and Results), aims at making learning outcomes of senior volunteering visible and thus add to senior volunteers’ motivation and sense of achievement. In this workshop an overview on the RIVER project is given as well as a short introduction of the system LEVEL5, which is a model to validate competence development of learners in informal and non-formal learning contexts.

Enabling Civic Participation as Core Element of Active Citizenship, Dr. Klaus Koopmann, University of BremenActive civic participation concerns all citizens and is in so far core element of intergenerational activities and of active ageing. In the theoretical part of our workshop participants will be offered approaches to: - the complex term ‘civic participation‘ and to - a concept of experiencing and learning how to participate as a citizen

“Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you

for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.'

'Does it hurt?' asked the Rabbit.

'Sometimes,' said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. 'When you are Real you don't mind being hurt.'

'Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,' he asked, 'or bit by bit?'

'It doesn't happen all at once,' said the Skin Horse. 'You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't

happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally,

by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in

the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly,

except to people who don't understand.”

- Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit
