The report of the PASCAL-PIMA SIG on learning in later life suggested the value of a four stage approach to learning in the lifecycle with the Third Age (51-75) and Fourth Stage (75+) covering the subject of learning in later life. While there is a growing experience and research bass on Third Age learning, less is available on the difficult Fourth Age when illnesses such as dementia are becoming more prevalent. Much would be gained by exchanges on good practice models to learning and well-being in the Fourth Stage of the lifecycle.
