SeLiD
The project Senior´s Learning in the Digital Society (SeLiD), an Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership, was planned for the period 1 September 2019 – 31 August 2021, but was extended to April 2022 because of the Corona pandemie. The project was carried out by 8 partners from European universities and was coordinated by the Comenius University in Bratislava Centre for Continuing Education.
The main objectives were open education and innovative practices in a digital era, focusing on improving and extending high quality learning opportunities for digital technologies and ICT, tailored to the needs of individual low-skilled or low-qualified adults.

The project identified the specific needs of elderly learners aged over 50 and the conditions under which they learn. It also examined possible innovations to make education more accessible for a wider group of older persons.
