'E50+: e-Skills to change the lives of 50+' project is included under the Grundtvig initiative in the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Commision. Its main aim is to analyze the motivations of people aged 50 or over to use the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) through the interchange, study and learning visits.

The project seeks the next objectives:

1. Develop skills for motivation, training and support of e-Inclusion for elderly people across different cultures and places.

2. Increase the quality of ICT training available in non-formal adult education.

3. Increase the participation of older people in lifelong learning.

4. Increase promotion of digital activities to older people.

5. Increase use of ICT by older people across Europe.

6. Build strong inter-cultural relationships between partner countries, entities and participant learners.

The main expected result is a 'Best Practice Guide' including:

1. ICT services availability, usage and needs analysis in partner countries.

2. Adult motivational techniques in ICT usage for older people.

3. Methods used to increase access to social networks, e-banking, e-shopping, e-government by older people.

4. Pilot experiences of the introduced methodologies in different countries.
