Thank you for participating in our questionnaire for the project SILVER. The main aim of this project is to develop skills of people over 50 years old through implementation of innovative learning. We believe it will help them to increase their employability and (re)integration into the labour market. The main aim of this survey is to find out what is your opinion regarding employing people 50+ and also implementation of active labour market policy. Your opinions and answers will give us a valuable feedback which will enable us to improve existing forms, methods and content of education. Thank you for your participation!

This project has been funded by Programme ERASMUS+, Strategic partnerships in the area of adult learning.
