For decades, the sexual life of older adults has been a taboo, it is time to shake up this old-fashioned attitude and focus on a vital part of seniors’ wellbeing. EDUSEXAGE project will develop a specific training course for retired older people to boost their self-esteem, promote socialization and understand the importance of having an active sexual life, it will also propose a specific training for seniors’ educators and informal caregivers, who may lack adapted and tested guidelines about how to discuss and tackle issues related to the social and intimate life of their old people. The project will enable them to support seniors in increasing their self-confidence and positivity and have a fulfilled sexual life. Finally, EDUSEXAGE will raise awareness among the general public about the importance for people of all ages of leading a fulfilled sexual, social, sentimental and EDUSEXAGE life and about the positive impact of active and healthy ageing.

1. User’s requirement report
