Civic Awareness For Elders in Europe
Start date: Oct 1, 2010,

The main objective of the project "CAFÉ in Europe - Civic Awareness For Elders in Europe" is to identify a common European methodology in the field of adult learning on issues relating to the protection of life and the safeguard of cultural heritage and environment from natural and anthropogenic risks. In particular the project aims to increase civic awareness and personal background on the behaviors to be taken in specific emergency situations through the organization of training courses, workgroups, seminars, thematic meetings, experiential activities, permanent and international forums. The expected result is to ensure the senior learner, as a fundamental unit of the community, an enhancement of his/her own safety and for the people around him/her. We are convinced that the "second" and the "third age" are a stage of life of people which, less pressed by the burden of work and family life, can still play an active role in society. As a result of the project activities three guidebooks and one documentary will be published . The outputs will be translated into six languages (English, German, Polish, Italian, Romanian and Turkish) and a summary of the most relevant documents will be disseminated into all the European languages. Moreover, during the project, there will be take place two international seminars on the topic "Civil Protection for Elderly People" (Austria and Turkey) and one international workshop for people working in the field of education for adults (Poland). It is also planned to organize an event in Brussels in order to promote the exploitation of the results through the participation of stakeholders at European level.The International Forum of Civil Protection for elderly people will permit to have a large impact throughout Europe and out of Europe with also the involvement of Third Countries representatives in the dissemination activities for a total of 1.500.000 of people reached directly and indirectly by the project.
