The Erasmus Plus KA 1 project "How to keep motivation" has given the association Grannies.lv the opportunity to learn from quality course providers in other European Union countries. We have learnt how adult and senior education is done in other European countries. We have already been able to find suitable courses for each desired goal.
Recent challenges - the pandemic and its aftermath, the war in Ukraine and the sense of insecurity - have affected both our teachers and our learners. New challenges that we were not really prepared for, anxiety, insecurity. All this has also had an impact on motivation and the learning and working environment that has been so familiar. The organisation Grannies.lv has a European Development Plan, but it has had to be revised and updated from new angles. We participate in various seminars to look for new solutions to improve the quality of life of seniors. We have identified intercultural communication as an important area, as well as creative approaches to language and culture training. We are looking for new methods and even new learning spaces, not only online.
