The Erasmus+ project Ageing Well, in which SVEB participated, has been completed. The project has produced a toolkit, a training programme for trainers, and an e-learning platform to promote the participation of people over 65.
The European project ‘Ageing Well – Science-based habits of people who age well’ aimed to support the social participation of people over 65. This was based on three dimensions: health, mental wellbeing and digital skills. The project was supported by an international Erasmus+ partnership and ran from December 2023 to November 2025, with SVEB (Romandie Secretariat) acting as the partner for Switzerland.
Toolkit, programme for trainers and e-learning platform
The following were produced:
- A toolkit for healthy ageing, based on positive psychology and best practices, is now available online for professionals working with older people.
- A training programme for trainers and care staff was developed, tested and improved based on feedback from the field. It is available in French.
- An e-learning platform, which is easy to use independently, enables older adults to improve their health habits whilst practising the use of digital tools.
The SVEB’s contribution
SVEB led the secondary research for Switzerland, contributed to the development of the training modules and designed a specific module for the platform that is adapted to the Swiss context. The Swiss sub-project was coordinated in French through monthly meetings.
The tools developed provide a lasting enhancement to the continuing education provision in French-speaking Switzerland and strengthen SVEB’s expertise in working with older adults, particularly with regard to the link between health, active ageing and digitalisation. Discussions are currently underway with interested stakeholders to integrate these resources into existing programmes and to develop new activities centred on active ageing and digital inclusion.
