Sustainable Learning in the Community II
Valuing older people’s skills and experience – Training peer facilitators
Summary

 The SLIC II project, "Valuing older people's skills and experience: Training Peer Facilitators", addresses the issue of increasingly ageing societies and the promotion of active ageing. The SLIC II project builds on the previous SLIC I project (Sustainable Learning in the Community) where an innovative workshop model and a handbook on how to run this workshop were developed (www.slic-project.eu/outcomes/handbook). In the first SLIC project, 103 older learners from 6 countries took part in the workshops which aimed to help older adults to review their past experience and personal skills and to explore new opportunities for learning and volunteering.

Building on this experience, within the SLIC II project, five Peer Facilitator Training Courses were run in Austria, Germany, Hungary, Italy and Scotland and 61 peer facilitators were trained. As part of the training, 12 trial SLIC Workshops were run by peer facilitators in these same countries with 121 participants. Also, a trans-national peer facilitator meeting was run in Budapest with 39 participants, 23 of whom were trained peer facilitators.
