Great news for all IKIGAI55+ fans! Our second newsletter has landed, packed with valuable updates on this exciting project. Here is what you can look forward to:

• Methodological Guidelines: Our newly released guidelines outline the structure of the training program, specifying learning outcomes, competencies, and entry requirements. These were shaped by stakeholder interviews to address the real needs of older adults and trainers.
• Fast-Track Training Material: Microlearning units focusing on Living Lab methodologies are now available. These resources include case studies and best practices, perfect for quickly understanding and applying Living Lab principles.
• 1st Training Event in Bilbao: Held from July 9-11, the “Training of Trainers” event provided hands-on practice and interactive sessions for participants, enhancing their knowledge on Living Labs.
• Interviews and Focus Groups: Partners conducted interviews with trainers and trainees aged 55+ to ensure the Guidebook and Handbook address essential considerations such as group dynamics, positive psychology, and real-life case studies.

Get Involved: Whether you are a trainer, older adult, or advocate for active aging, there are plenty of ways to join us in making a difference.
