United Generations - Mapping Intergenerational Learning and Basic Skills

The first major achievement of the United Generations project has been the comprehensive mapping of intergenerational learning focused on essential skills, particularly for adults over 60, including seniors, grandparents, and refugees. This effort aimed to address the limited opportunities available to this group for acquiring digital and language literacy skills, compared to the younger, digitally native generation.

Through thorough research and collaboration among all partner countries, the project identified the specific needs, challenges, and requirements of both the older and younger generations in terms of digital and language skills, with a focus on English. This mapping exercise provided valuable insights into the current state of adult learning in each partner country, particularly regarding literacy, numeracy, and ICT skills among adults over 60.

Intergenerational Learning Maps

The maps are a comprehensive and dynamic resource developed as a key outcome of the PR1. They serve as an evidence-based tool designed to enhance understanding and support the implementation of intergenerational learning initiatives, particularly focused on improving digital and language skills among seniors (60+) with the involvement of younger generations (15-30 years).

Project Result 2:

Connected Backpack for Competence Framework and Validation Tools

The second key achievement of the United Generations project is the development of the tailored Competence Framework and Validation Tools. This innovative resource is designed to equip seniors (60+) with essential digital and language skills, enabling them to navigate and communicate in an increasingly digital world.

Digital and Literacy Competence Framework:

A comprehensive guide that outlines the key digital and language skills seniors need to engage with technology and communicate effectively. This framework serves as the foundation for all teaching materials and learning modules, ensuring that the content is tailored to the specific needs of older adults.

United Generations Learning Modules

Each partner developed digital and English language learning modules, featuring at least 20 hours of interactive content. These modules cover practical skills like using the internet, social media, and communication platforms (e.g., Skype, WhatsApp), as well as basic English language skills. The modules are designed to be accessible and engaging, with themes that promote intergenerational communication and cultural exchange.

Open Badges Ecosystem

An innovative tool for recognizing and validating the skills that seniors acquire through the learning modules. This system allows learners to earn digital badges that demonstrate their competencies, which can be shared and displayed as proof of their achievements.

Learning Materials

Explore stand-alone modules and their translations in one place.
