Partners institutions have ample experience working with older people, and exactly because of this background, it has been detected that the level of personal satisfaction of the elderly significantly increases when they carry out volunteering activity. Therefore, the partners institutions of the project have identified the need to foster the elderly to carry out volunteering activity. In this way, a twofold aim could be reach, on the one hand, the diverse associations of disadvantaged might benefit from these collaborations with the elderly but, in turn, they obtain as a reward an increase of their personal satisfaction since are aware of their contribution to community and they can feel they are much more useful people to society.

The advantage of carrying out the project at a transnational level is that the variety of cultures and backgrounds will provide a stimulating learning environment aimed at responding to the need, in today’s world, to be more aware of the interconnectedness of the different realities within Europe. Moreover, each partner will practice the volunteering activity with a different target groups: disadvantaged people, migrants, refugees and the elderly.

The project brings (trans-national, interdisciplinary, cross-field) benefits for the cooperation. It allows partners to carry out connections in the long run after Erasmus+ funding, e.g. Moreover, it contributes to the internationalization strategies of the participating organizations.
