The conference will aim to:

• Identify new areas of teaching and learning, especially through arts and creativity
• Share good practice about older adults’ learning and educational opportunities
• Include the voice of the older learner
• Highlight the EU year of Active Ageing and Intergenerational Solidarity (2012)
• Showcase the work of the conference partners and other contributors

The conference has been accepted onto the Comenius-Grundtvig Training Database, at reference IE-2012-223-001, making it eligible for support of delegates' conference fees, travel and subsistence costs.  If you wish to apply, contact your national agency.  As the course is registered in Ireland, anyone from another EU country (including GB and N.Ireland) may apply.
