SensAge will be a Network of Networks, Associations and Organisations addressing the issues of enabling ageing people with sensory disabilities – blind/visual impairment, deaf/hearing impairment, and deafblind - to take part in lifelong learning in accordance with EU Strategies and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Its Aim is to become the Reference Point for the gathering, analysis and dissemination of methodologies and materials enabling an active ageing of European citizens with sensory impairments, promoting autonomy, quality of life and social inclusion. Its Objectives are 1. To reach a common understanding of what « ageing » means and its link with sensory disabilities, of the resulting main challenges (in practice, or in law or in policy making processes), and of potential interactions with other disabilities; 2. To create a space for the gathering, exchange and dissemination of practices and materials in this field; 3. To contribute to appropriate EU standards of support for lifelong learning for these beneficiaries, and to maximise the impact of the work through political lobbying at European and National Levels; 4. To maximise on an ongoing basis, through all appropriate means of dissemination, the impact of the work of the Network at European and National levels; and 5. To establish the sustainability of the work of the Network after the completion of the period of EC funding. SensAge is being developed in response to the lifelong learning needs of the increasing number of ageing people with single or multiple sensory disabilities, and to the widespread range of practices being developed to meet their lifelong learning needs in organisations working with and for ageing people with sensory disabilities, including beneficiary organisations, statutory agencies, adult education providers, community based service providers, personal service providers and staff training providers.
