ARGENTUM - Strategic competencies for Silver Economy

GENERAL INFORMATION: Programme: Erasmus + KA2 Project number: 021-1-BG01-KA220-VET-000029820 Duration: 01/11/2021 – 01/11/2023 Lead Partner: European Association for Innovation and Growth (Bulgaria) Partners: Sofia Municipality (Bulgaria) Aris – professional training and research center (Italy) Universitat Jaume I de Castellón (Spain) Medardas Cobotas University of the Third Age (Lithuania) Lights (Latvia) PROJECT FRAMEWORK: A report of the European Commission highlights that by 2070, 30.3% of the population is projected to be aged 65 years or older and 13.2% is projected to be aged 80 years or older. The Green Paper on Ageing issued by the European Commission in January 2021 reports that the silver economy is expected to grow by about 5% a year from EUR 3.7 trillion in 2015 to EUR 5.7 trillion in 2025 and therefore it will open up new job opportunities in many sectors. Given this framework, it is clear that we should update the labour market to the elderly’s needs, starting from addressing the lack of skills concerning today’s companies, local authorities and the non-governmental sector. General objectives: ARGENTUM project wants to promote the concept of Silver economy, which, despite the demographic trend mentioned above, is not very well known among private and public entities. The main objective of the project is to create an Innovative Cluster for Silver economy with the aim to provide tailor made training courses, enhance collaboration and give visibility to all the relevant actors for the sector. In the cluster will participate companies and service providers, which operate in Information technology, Welfare, Health&Care, Tourism, Leisure/Sport and Education (the 7 markets of Silver Economy). Project results: Mapping and creation of innovative Cluster for Silver economy Training course: Integrated innovative services design for ageing people in Information technology, Welfare, Health & Care, Tourism, Leisure & Sport and Education
