The overall objective of the project is to promote the quality of life for older adults (+65 years old) that both maintains health and is meaningful.

ACTIVITY 1: Preparation & production of a piece of art (10 months)

A1.1: Preparation: Kick-off Meeting

A1.2: Production of the piece of art

• The sub-activity will start with selecting the participant. Then, partners will involve stakeholders such as directors, actors, actresses, cultural NGOs, studios, poets, etc. The later will work, hands in hands with the trainers of the participant organizations, with the participants in order to produce the piece of art under the overall supervision of Uno. The artwork will be of the choice of the participants with no influence from the partners.

ACTIVITY 2: LTTA mobilities (4 months)

A2.1: Italian seniors in Spain (from 26 to 30 March)

A2.2: Spanish seniors in Ireland (from 16 to 19 May)

A2.3: Irish seniors in Italy (from 2 to 5 April)

• In these LTTA mobilities, the seniors will have the opportunity to present their production in front of at least 60 viewers. These events will be serving also as a dissemination and multiplier events for the project, where the partners will engage the stakeholders and the wider community to introduce them to Erasmus+ programme and the project in details.

ACTIVITY 3: Analysis of the impact (4 months)

A3: Evaluation of the activities and analysis of the impact

• Partner organizations will collect the opinions at the end of the activities A1 and A2 (both from the seniors, trainers, and the audience) to evaluate the project overall and its impact whether on the seniors, trainers, project managers, or on stakeholders and wider community.
• This activity will be a transversal one and will be post activities at the same time. Meaning that the collection of the feedback, the meetings, the interviews will be held right after each other activity (A1 and A2), however, the evaluation and the analysis will take place after the concluding of the previous activities.
