On the invitation of Captain Ajith Peiris, President of CINEC Campus, Professor François Vellas, President of AIUTA, visited the intergenerational cooperation program developed at CINEC Campus dedicated to eco-tourism and carried out in partnership with the Universities of the Third Age in cooperation with AIUTA. The team of Professor D.A.C. Suranga Silva, together with Sampath, will organize at the University of Colombo — in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism of Sri Lanka — an international seminar on the study-tour program for seniors with the AIUTA Universities of the Third Age.
In Mumbai, François Vellas attended a meeting with representatives of the Third Age organized by Stuti Agarwal on the international cooperation program initiated with Israel, the Netherlands, and Japan regarding the transmission of knowledge and professional experience between retired agricultural specialists and Indian farmers. This innovative program is based on long-term stays — around six months — of retired agronomy professionals in farms located in several Indian states.
AIUTA, together with the Universities of the Third Age, will provide its support and participate in actions conducted within this intergenerational framework dedicated to knowledge transmission, development, and poverty reduction.
