Lebenslanges Lernen, Lern-Lust lebenslang. Lehrgang für Frauen 45+

abz*austria dedicated two courses to the topic "lifelong learning, lifelong lust for learning" for unemployed women over the age of 45. The goal was to kindle an interest in lifelong learning and to provide computer skills and key competences that could be directly applied to a product-oriented project. What moved the women to decide to participate? How did they learn and what did they learn? In this article, the author describes the important building blocks of the course and reports on the experience that "older people" don‘t learn in just one way but rather in a great variety of ways. She also asserts that the ability to learn is not tied to a certain age and that learning is concerned with more than methods, discipline and endurance. Instead, it has much to do with curiosity, playfulness and creativity.
