Kehittämistarve	Demographic ageing is a global fact. Europe faces severe population ageing in the near future. The strategic plan of EIPAHA (2011) emphasizes the idea of active ageing. It calls for a new vision of ageing and promotion of positive possibilities in older age. The challenge is how to transfer this vision into practice of working with older people. Higher education institutions have a crucial role in meeting this challenge. This network project promotes European cooperation, innovation, exchange of good practice, and research related to the ageing of population. The project reconstructs the educational approach by developing a European Competencies Framework for working with the older people, and thus adds to the quality of higher education in professions providing the care for older people.
