About SLIC

The SLIC-project “Sustainable learning in the community - Raising awareness of older peoples's competencies and identifying new opportunities for learning and engagement” is a European project funded by the European Commissions' GRUNDTVIG-programme, a sub-programme of the Programme on Lifelong Learning.

SLIC was coordinated by the Austrian Red Cross. Nine organisations from six European countries - Austria, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, and the United Kingdom - were participating in the SLIC-project.

SLIC aimed to enable older people to participate actively in their community, participate in formal and informal learning and increase their self-esteem and feelings of usefulness through offering a two day SLIC-workshop.

The project has started in December 2007 and ran until January 2010.
