UK FTVS wanted to support an inclusive approach and strengthen the knowledge and experience of lecturers in this area. We wanted lecturers to learn how barriers could be identified, minimized, or completely removed. Interdisciplinary cooperation to be deepened. UK FTVS ensured the transfer of knowledge and experience between different age categories. Teamwork was an important principle that was respected during the implementation of the project. UK FTVS planned that this principle would be integrated into the life of the faculty and university. The project brought a change in the approach to the target group of adult learners. Their needs were respected when offers of lifelong learning education and U3V education were presented. The website was updated to ensure user-friendliness and to provide easily reachable information for the target group. UK FVTS ensured that during project activities implementation the principles of sustainable development were fully respected.
