BRinging STEM into Active aging (BRAIN)

The project responds to the need to raise interest and social engagement among older persons in the fields of science, mathematics, engineering and technology (STEM).

It addresses the need to develop innovative tools that support senior citizens’ activity, increase their knowledge and skills, and thereby improve their self‑esteem and quality of life.

The project aims will be achieved by:

• equipping scientific staff with appropriate skills and methods to effectively transfer scientific knowledge to older adults,
• activating seniors by encouraging them to pass on their acquired knowledge within their local communities, in order to prevent social exclusion and strengthen their self‑esteem,
• developing new teaching methods for older adults that can also be applied on an international scale.
