Translated title of the contribution: [Autom. eng. transl.] Milan city that learns: the participation of the elderly in lifelong learning

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] In view of Italy's historical delay in providing Lifelong learning activities, there is a need for training policies for active aging, aimed both at recovering the various cultural gaps of the elderly (literacy, digital, functional gaps), and at prevent them from spreading. The essay focuses on the state of activities of LLL in Milan, which boasts a vast and consolidated cultural tradition for all ages. The data show that 2/3 of the users of LLL courses offered by both public and private and private social institutions are women, and there is high loyalty to providers, so much so that many "students" are themselves teachers of subjects of their own specialization and interest. However, it is the citizens with the greatest cultural capital who participate in the LLL while there is an urgent need for training proposals that can improve the state of life of the most vulnerable from a cultural point of view.
