As part of the project outputs, the partners created a digital Compass with 2 sections, each of them covering 5 topics:

1.4) Basics of creative recycling and upcycling at home settings

1.5) Art and craft activities using natural materials


SECTION 2) Basics of an entrepreneurship initiative and how to become a senior entrepreneur:

2.3) How to promote hand-made art and craft works

2.5) How to calculate costs and to successfully sell hand-made art and craft works


Each topic includes a methodological overview with the key aspects of the discussed theme, presented in a practical way, suitable for active seniors or elder adult educators, and a self-assessment test to verify the learning. Recommendations on how to put the proposed approach into different national and cultural contexts are also given.


As part of the Compass topics, 29 case studies in total have been identified and briefly described as a separate section of Overviews. Glossaries of the main terms are also included for each topic, which will help silver learners and their educators to easily orient about the discussed learning content.


In addition, the Compass includes references to more than 46 additional resources, such as books, guidelines, handbooks, videos, articles with helpful tips, case studies, practical examples of activities, etc. They are linked with the respective topic and provide an opportunity for interested learners to deepen their knowledge in the field.


All materials are available in English and in Lithuanian, Bulgarian, Spanish, Macedonian and Italian, and are easily accessible on the project website on https://www.creativeseniors.eu/compass.
