International “Seniors in Action” Days in Tenerife

Posted on 12/01/2023 by Mia Standfest

In the course of the Erasmus+ project “Seniors in action” we were very happy to welcome our international friends from Poland, Slovenia, Hungary and Romania. From the 4th of Decembre till the 8th of December 2022 the seniors had time to exchange thoughts about volunteering activities, visit our intergenerational permaculture garden, explore the socio-educational projects of this island and discover the beauty of Tenerife’s nature. The first evening was already a great success! Together we ate paella, danced and sang.

On Monday the 5th of Decembre we started the Learning Activity for seniors in Action with a visit to Teide National Park. Our volunteer seniors guided their international friends through the Canary Island pine forest, shared with them about life between volcanoes and showed them the best viewpoints. Together we admired the unique diversity and colors of the National Park. The seniors were particularly impressed by the plants and their adaptability to the island’s altitudes and weather conditions. A short hike was also not to be missed! After all, we seniors are in action!

During the third day of the international exchange of the Erasmus+ Project “Seniors in Action” we organized an international Christmas workshop in the community center of Punta del Hidalgo, Tenerife. Christmas is a celebration that unites people… All the more wonderful to celebrate it with seniors from other countries, to share traditions and exchange customs. Together with our friends from Poland, Romania, Slovenia and Hungary, we created Christmas decorations, danced, enjoyed biscuits and punch and sang traditional Christmas carols in different languages.

Also we exchanged “volunteering- best practises”. It was a pleasure to present our intergenerational permaculture garden. Proudly the seniors showed their international colleagues the piece of land they are cultivating in a very sustainable way.

For Wednesday, 7th of December, the Erasmus+ project “seniors in action” joined a guided tour of the historic city of La Laguna. The old capital of Tenerife is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and shined in December in special splendor. The Tenerife people take the Christmas lights very seriously!

Afterwards we visited the SOS Children’s Village in EL Tablero. What makes it special is that this eco-farm uses sustainability as a tool for social intervention with learners from low socioeconomic backgrounds. This socio-educational activity aimed to be a source of inspiration and we hope that this tangible passion could be an impulse for more voluntary social projects! We were happy to see that the seniors got very motivated to use their potential, increase participation in order to prevent social exclusion of people.

At the last day of the Erasmus+ project Seniors in action (8th of December) we did an excursion to the jungle of Tenerife. The forest of Anaga is a UNESCO biosphere reserve with fascinating flora and breathtaking viewpoints. We ended this inspiring week with the ceremonial presentation of the certificates. The seniors shared and learned a lot and motivated each other to keep in action!

On January 9th 2023, Eduplus organized another workshop on financial literacy as part of an international volunteer meeting. During this event, the results of the Erasmus+ project "Let's talk about Money" were presented. Among the participants were people who volunteer in the field of education, senior citizen organizations as well as people who work in the therapeutic field. During our event, the importance of dealing with the financial situation, also with regard to the different areas of working, was discussed. The activities provided participants with insights into the world of finance. Inspired by the "Challenges" in our self-developed calendar, a transdisciplinary and intergenerational exchange about dealing with money took place. We are pleased that our materials are being well received and are stimulating discussion beyond the event. lets-talk-about-money.eu/en/#Letstalkaboutmoney #Financialliteracy #moneychallenge #erasmusplus #adulteducation ...

We start the new year on January 5th with our last FIBIC meeting. After more than two years, our Erasmus+ project "Let's talk about Money" is now entering the last round and therefore we are happy to meet again in person on Tenerife to discuss final details. Together with our partners from Germany, Romania, Austria, Belgium and Bulgaria we reflected on the ongoing dissemination of the intellectual outputs of our project and discussed steps to push them even further. The evaluation of the project showed that all partners were very satisfied with the results and that the curriculum and the "Financial Challenges" were very well received, especially by multipliers in the education sector. #FIBIC #Financial literacy #finalmeeting #erasmusplus #adulteducation ...

On 6th December we organized the Multiplier event for our Erasmus+ "Let's talk about money" project. We invited international stakeholders (members of seniors organizations, teachers, adult educators etc.) from 4 different countries to join us in Punta del Hidalgo, Tenerife to talk about financial literacy. Our workshop aimed at promoting value-oriented and responsible behaviour of each individual in financial and money matters. By means of interactive exercises, impulse questions and self-designed teaching materials (such as our calendar), we approached socially sensitive topics. We took a look into the past, talked about the changing perception of money and analysed poverty risk and how to protect oneself from it. Especially the latter is a big issue for senior citizens, some of whom have to manage with very little money. We are all the more pleased that our event met with such a great response and that we received repeated feedback that the workshop had stimulated reflection processes in dealing with money.
