Education and learning for active aging: promising practices and findings from the Age-It Research Program

This exploratory study outlines the richness of the mapped activities, as well as limited exchange and collaboration among the involved actors, the absence of a shared framework to assess the quality of practices addressed to older adults' learning and participation, and the need for research and evaluation. Furthermore, national policies for active and healthy aging should allocate specific resources for learning and education to support older adults in terms of skills, social participation, meaning, and recognition.
