Introducing the People behind Laterlife
Connect in Laterlife is brought to you by a consortium of six partners representing Ireland, Poland, Germany, Finland, Italy and Portugal with funding from the European Commission under the Lifelong Learning Programme 2007 - 2013.
With collective expertise in the areas of vocational education and training, direct engagement with older people, advocacy and advice, technology and community development each partner established local working groups to ensure that the views, needs and support requirements of older people where at the heart of the project's development process. A survey of 653 older people conducted in 2010 continues to inform the work of the consortium, ensuring content and accessibility preferences are achieved.
