FETRC Erasmus Plus success in Adult Learning

FETRC has had yet another successful Erasmus Plus application. GrandExperts is a 2-year Erasmus + project.

Within the project, older adults will be trained to develop high-quality, innovative, and interactive ICT based courses to be shared with other seniors. The approach is based on innovative pedagogies and practices and includes a well-balanced combination of knowledge transfer and learning from experience (use of storytelling). Strongly included is an emphasis on EU 2020 goals: improving the quality and efficiency of education and training, enhancing creativity and innovation at all levels of education and training, making lifelong learning a reality.
