Eden Annual Conference 2012

The population in Europe is getting older. The EU Commission stressed in the Europe 2020 strategy the importance of healthy and active ageing. Values represented by mature citizens are becoming increasingly important in contemporary European societies. The year 2012 will be "The European Year of Active Ageing and the Solidarity Between Generations".
The Eden Annual Conference will approach the key questions of learning methodology and technology focusing on the “Open learning generations”, the contexts of socially significant target groups: junior and senior e-learners. It will explore their learning cultures, technology use patterns, and discuss new approaches in pedagogy and andragogy that respond to them.

The 2012 Annual Conference will be intensively supported and accompanied by social networking, sharing, online presence and involvement possibilities. Main elements will be:

•  Pre- and post-conference activity weeks on Twitter and Facebook: discussion on conference topics and themes
• Streamed presentations of the Plenary sessions and highlighted panel sessions, workshops
• Embedded interviews with speakers and delegates
• Online networking before, during and after the conference with delegates, speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors
• EDEN Network of Academics and Professionals video booth manned by the NAP Steering Committee members
• Exhibition of service providers and suppliers, with high integration and synergy for the programme
