The project aimed to support wellbeing through research and educational activities. Understanding the experiences of adults during and after the Covid-19 pandemic was key to creating “digital stepping stones” to wellbeing. The project implemented three main activities designed to achieve freely available results: research analysis among 167 participants, international and local workshops, and microlearning activities - digital breakout rooms. All of these activities clearly aimed to support lifelong learning in relation to wellbeing. In addition, the interaction element of digital breakout rooms supports the activity of participants and helps to develop digital and intergenerational learning, thereby supporting the overall quality of life.
The Covid-19 pandemic has transformed learning needs towards digitalisation in everyday life and work, requiring rapid adaptation, which has an impact on adults’ well-being and work-life balance. The main need addressed by the project is therefore the wellbeing of adults as an important part of supporting lifelong learning. The project first identified these needs through research that analysed newly acquired experiences of adults in adapting to new circumstances and maintaining well-being. The research results were then validated through workshops and sharing good practice. Based on these activities, micro-learning tools were created that can be used by HR departments, educators and the general public to improve civic, green, interpersonal and digital skills, thereby supporting lifelong learning. By addressing these issues, the project supports the horizontal priorities of inclusion and diversity and the creating and promoting of learning opportunities among all citizens and generations.
