Given the growing importance of well-being for reserchers, policy makers, social worker and adult educators, namely in old age, the organization selected the following theme for the 2018 conference: “The contributions of education and learning for older adults’ well-being”. Participants were invited to submit proposals on one of four topics: (1) theoretical approaches on older adults’ well-being, quality of life and related concepts; (2) well-being and policy/social policy; (3) analysing the older adults’ well-being, in all its dimensions and through different methodological approaches; and, (4) educational and learning experiences: contributions to the well-being of older adults.
