Based on the problems, needs, and expectations of the target groups, we defined the following goals that we wanted to achieve within the project: -Increase in knowledge and skills regarding the use of cultural heritage for the activation of the local community. -Increase in seniors' knowledge about lifelong learning opportunities in the local environment and in partner countries. -Learning about interesting forms and methods of working with senior groups in partner organizations. -Development of staff competencies in interesting methods of working with senior groups. -Sharing their knowledge by participants from partner organizations in Poland and Spain and mutually benefiting from their experiences. -Improvement of Spanish and Polish language skills through project participation. -Increase in knowledge about the history and culture of each partner country. -Strengthening of affiliation to the European community.
The idea for the project implementation emerged directly from the target groups with whom CWOP works on a daily basis, primarily the elderly. On one hand, seniors wanted to see how older adults organize themselves in other countries, what offers they have and how they are supported by local governments, non-governmental organizations, etc. On the other hand, CWOP wanted to learn specific methods and tools for working with seniors, which could then be adopted in Poland. The organization wanted to expand its offer with new services that it could provide to its beneficiaries. Another reason was the desire to develop the organization by establishing new partnerships, learning new tools for managing the organization, particularly in an online manner and through modern technologies.
