The project is implemented under the Erasmus+ programme by 7 organisations in Lithuania, Spain, Italy, Germany, Greece, the Republic of North Macedonia and Poland. Sun in the Age project addresses the problem of loneliness and social isolation of older people.

During the pandemic, the problem of loneliness and social isolation in older adults became more visible, with many experiencing a lack of basic human contact for months, and at the same time, a sense of fear of death as a major issue.

The main purpose of the project is to apply REMIND (Relaxation, Meditation, Mindfulness) practices to develop the competencies and skills of adult educators and social workers working with adults, especially older adults, aiming to significantly improve the psychosomatic wellbeing and quality of life of older adults.

to provide social, educational and health staff who work with the elderly, with new important tools for the stress management, related with holistic approaches, including REMIND techniques;
to teach adult trainers how to apply the REMIND practices to themselves as tools for improving their psycho-physical wellbeing;
to improve adult trainers’ knowledge in how to empower older adults, through REMIND practices;
to enable older people to learn the life skills, strengthen and build resilience, improve their ability to manage emotions and control reactive response, reduce stress and anxiety, maintain an active brain, and transform LONELINESS in a GOLD OPPORTUNITY.
