"Senior Environmentalists '- Seniors Volunteer Project

FERSO Foundation, together with a Bulgarian partner Ecomission 21st Century, is launching Senior Volunteering Project, "Senior Environmentalists' Grundtvig. It is addressed to people aged 50 +.
We offer people aged 50 + three-week trip as a volunteer for our Bulgarian partner and engage in ecological activities and citizenship. Volunteers in the project will be supported language, cultural and personal.
The main idea of ​​this project is to establish long-term cooperation between the two organizations involved in the project - the Polish Foundation FERSO and "Ecomission 21st Century" in Bulgaria. Cooperation will be focused on the Senior Volunteering Project, and additionally supported by the exchange of experiences in the field of ecology and non-formal adult education.
The project:
1. We enabled seniors (ie those 50 +) to undertake voluntary activities in another European country in the field of environmental education, civic and intercultural.
2. We will establish sustainable cooperation between organizations of the Polish and Bulgarian - and Ecomission FERSO in order to achieve volunteering abroad by persons 50 +.
3. We will give local communities a chance to take advantage of seniors as a potential source of knowledge, competence and experience.
Volunteering is increasingly seen as a valuable non-formal learning experience for people of all ages. In particular, it is believed that this is a good way to propose learning opportunities to senior citizens throughout Europe, the promotion of active aging and emphasize the social contribution of older people. Seniors are an invaluable source of wisdom and experience, which should benefit the society in a much greater extent than it did in the past. Therefore, we offer a new form of mobility to European senior citizens to enable them to learn, exchange experience and knowledge and to transmit these values ​​to persons abroad (for www.grundtvig.pl).
Grundtvig Programme at the broad general education (non-professional) adults and promote cooperation at European level in this area. Grundtvig is part of the "Learning for life", aimed at offering a variety of educational opportunities for people of all ages to help them with formal education, non-formal and informal.
