Challenge
Education should play an important role in all stages of human life, thus for senior age as well. Stretching the self-sufficiency period of the elderly citizens will have a profound positive impact on the whole society, not just the seniors.
Research tells us that seniors, in general, prefer a content which is related to their daily life and is personally useful for them. This type of content tends to get their interest and motivate them to participate in education activities. Since mental and physical wellness are among the top priority themes for the elderly, SAGE addresses this topic.
Innovation
By training elderly people on topics such as health and well-being, SAGE aims at stimulating their social and spiritual activity.
