The proposed project aims to train peer facilitators to run two-day SLIC-workshops that offer new, practical ways to help older adults review their past experience and personal skills and to explore new opportunities for learning and community engagement. The SLIC-workshop design was developed and trialled in a two year GRUNDTVIG project with 103 learners in 6 countries participating in SLIC-WS. The skills profile was seen as a very useful tool to raise self-esteem and a good starting point for volunteering. It helped participants to get to know their own strengths and recognise their value. It also enabled them to "step back and see the big picture".The project "Valuing older people's skills and experiences -Training peer facilitators" aims to broaden the workshops and ensure their impact and sustainability by training peer facilitators to run workshops and by trialling workshops run by peer facilitators, with specific target groups and in specific contexts. Following crucial points will be explored in depth: designing the workshops to fit the needs of specific target groups (i.e. migrants, those recently retired, disadvantaged older people), creating a stronger focus on community involvement, networking and cooperation with other organisations, exploring how the workshops can be embedded in organisational policy on older volunteers and improving the process of accompanying participants after the workshop.The results of the SLIC II project will be a six day peer facilitator training run in Austria, Germany, Hungary, Italy and Scotland, a tool-kit for peer facilitator training, 2-3 workshops run by 2-3 peer facilitators in each country - each with a specific focus - as well as a transnational peer facilitator meeting to exchange and disseminate experience. Several partner organisations are already offering or planning to offer SLIC-workshops regularly and the development and trialling of the peer facilitator training will give added value to these endeavours.
