Project I am Active strived to achieve two main intellectual outputs: methodology and guidelines for implementation of training the trainers programme and curriculum and recommendations of the programme for promoting social integration and development of intercultural dialogue with women third country nationals - stressing their integration into labour market. Partners have made a curriculum proposal that served organizations as a basis for adapting the curriculum to their needs and the needs of migrants.

This project promoted European cooperation and exchange of innovation and good practice related to the ageing population and to the educational preparation of those that work with older people. The project reconstructed the diverse educational approach by developing a European Competences Framework for working with the older people, sharing innovation in teaching and identifying factors that influence students in choosing to work with older people thus strengthening the quality of higher education for professions providing care for older people. The project directly targeted educators and management staff at the partners and other higher education institutions in Europe. The indirect target groups were the students, professional communities and older people themselves.

The project has used a simple but effective methodology of thematically based shared classes in order to help adult and senior learners to ease their way through the educational process. The methodological approach is based on four pillars: motivation, learning through acting, self-confidence and active participation of the adults all along the learning process. Many of the products of the project like project logo, recipes collection, stories, calendar, blog, pictures, videos, etc. were created by the adult learners during the actual thematically based shared classes and shared during the project meetings.
