• To improve the quality of life, of the elderly, especially of those with visual and hearing impairments;

• To facilitate the access to information of the elderly people with or without visual and hearing impairments;

• To improve the communication skills of the seniors, especially of the seniors with visual and hearing impairments by training and new technologies;

• To encourage the cultural and life experience exchange by facilitating the virtual dialog between old and young generations;

• To create and test different types of general training modules and demonstrative courses on culture, communication and active citizenship;

• To develop seniors' motivation, their practical abilities and self-efficacy in using information technologies;

• To reduce the marginalisation of the elderly people by facilitating their active involvement in the social, political and cultural life and by contributing to a change in peoples mentality about aging.

The information need of the target group and the influence that the social and cultural context has on decisions that seniors and disabled people make in using communication technologies will be analysed in the participant countries of the project. A comparative analysis will be developed on the basis of these investigations. 

The possibilities of acquiring and developing new assistive technologies and especially new assistive technology necessary for training people with visual and hearing impairments will be identified in order to be used, if possible so, in ISLACOSADIF project. Also investigations will be made with regard to the use of text-to-speech (TTS) machines.

General training modules will be developed for the seniors and disabled people, according to their disability and interest and also training courses will be organised for teachers and carers in order to make them also familiar with the software especially designed for people with visual and hearing impairments which will be used in the ISLACOSADIF project.
