ERASMUS+ project ‘Sustainable Fortifications as a Learning Centre for Seniors’ by the Fortress of Culture Šibenik (Croatia/Šibenik), together with Asociatia Mioritics (Romania/Constanța) and Viešoji įstaiga Kauno tvirtovės parkas (Lithuania/Kaunas).

The Sustain4Seniors Hub project is funded under the Erasmus+ programme, a European Union initiative aimed at enhancing educational, training, and cultural cooperation across Europe. The Erasmus+ programme provides funding and resources for projects like the Sustain4Seniors Hub that foster cooperation, innovation and the exchange of best practices in education and culture. With a strong focus on adult education, the programme supports lifelong learning initiatives, empowering institutions to address emerging societal challenges, such as sustainability and active citizenship among seniors.

The partnership for this project was based on a shared commitment to sustainability and heritage management. Each of the organisations involved manages historic and cultural sites and recognised the need for knowledge sharing to develop more inclusive, engaging and sustainable programmes, particularly for older visitors.

The knowledge and experiences gained during the project have been compiled into an online brochure, Sustain4Seniors Hub in Cultural Heritage Sites ROADMAP, with the aim of sharing these insights with other cultural institutions striving to make their programs and locations more accessible to seniors.
