The essay begins with a reflection dedicated to social ageism. In particular, it seeks to show how policies aimed at active ageing, if understood only as strategies directed at the elderly, are not without a certain bias towards aging, aiming to bring the topic of active longevity back into the horizon of lifelong learning. All formal, informal, and non-formal contexts must take on the task of becoming promoters and developers of life skills, fulfilling the preventive role that lifelong learning and continuing education should have. In conclusion, the contribution, after identifying the contents of continuing education for active longevity, highlights the research projects dedicated to this topic within the Lilah research group at the University of Florence. Promuovere longevità attiva: la sfida dell’educazione continua per il benessere, al di là e oltre l’emergenza. Il saggio prende avvio con una riflessione dedicata all’ageismo sociale. In particolare, cerca di mostrare come le politiche dedicate all’invecchiamento attivo, se intese solo come strategie rivolte agli anziani, non siano prive di un certo pregiudizio nei confronti dell’invecchiamento, con l’obiettivo di riportare il tema della longevità attiva nell’orizzonte dell’apprendimento permanente. Tutti i contesti formali, informali e non formali devono assumersi il compito di diventare promotori e sviluppatori di competenze di vita, assolvendo al ruolo preventivo che dovrebbe avere l’apprendimento permanente. In conclusione, il contributo, dopo aver individuato i contenuti di una educazione continua alla longevità attiva, evidenzia i progetti di ricerca dedicati a questo tema all’interno del gruppo di ricerca Lilah dell’Università di Firenze.

This article reviews the literature (scientific and otherwise) concerning the elderly, highlighting how there is a prejudice linked to age which leads us to think that we cannot intervene with the elderly except in cognitive recovery and rehabilitative terms. It shows how this prejudice is the offspring of those readings of reality organized by common sense and of those intervention models supported by the idea of an expected individual development, of which many theories are the bearers, including psychoanalytic ones. The article proposes an alternative for understanding the demand of the elderly, centered on their desire and for intervention aimed at maintaining systems of coexistence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the pandemic, the condition of frailty has discriminated against access to treatment paths, without favouring de-hospitalisation. Architecture has a duty to provide adequate responses to post- COVID housing needs. This proposal collects the results of research on residential models constituting interconnected ecosystem cells in smart neighbourhoods. The goal of the research is to verify the transition towards the smart city, exploiting techno-typological innovation to facilitate overcoming frailty at home. The main results include the evolution of the IDEAs prototype (Intelligent Domestic Ecosystem for an Ageing Society) as a housing model integrated by a system aimed at monitoring and supporting the daily life activities of the frail and elderly.

The increasing dynamism of contemporary society poses some challenges also to current learning processes that could benefit from new methods based upon intelligent technologies. The use of technology, in this context, can be an enabling factor. The Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS), for example, are systems that, despite some limitations (for example, lack of dynamic adaptability and reduced innovation compared to classical learning environments), are able to support the acquisition of knowledge by their users through the use of modern Information and Communication Technologies. The experience of the authors in the field of education, coming from the development of crisis management training systems, has been renewed and enriched over the years, arriving to a new generation of ITSs. This latter one is able to support the dynamic adaptation of the lessons and to bring the educational processes out of the classrooms, overcoming the original limitations of the ITSs and pursuing the idea of a continuous learning both in time and in space. Tecnologie intelligenti per la formazione a supporto dell’invecchiamento attivo La crescente dinamicità della società contemporanea pone delle sfide anche agli attuali processi di apprendimento che potrebbero trarre beneficio da nuovi metodi basati su tecnologie intelligenti. L’utilizzo della tecnologia, in questo contesto, può risultare un fattore abilitante. Gli Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS), ad esempio, sono sistemi che nonostante alcune limitazioni (per es., scarse capacità di adattamento dinamico e ridotta innovazione rispetto agli ambienti di apprendimento classici), sono in grado di supportare l’acquisizione di conoscenze da parte dei loro utenti attraverso l’utilizzo di moderne tecnologie dell’informazione e della comunicazione. L’esperienza degli autori nel campo dell’educazione, generata prevalentemente durante lo sviluppo di sistemi di addestramento alla gestione delle crisi, si è rinnovata ed arricchita negli anni, fino ad andare verso una nuova generazione di ITS in grado di supportare l’adattamento dinamico delle lezioni e di portare i processi educativi fuori dalle aule, superando le originarie limitazioni degli ITS e perseguendo l’idea di un apprendimento continuo sia nel tempo che nello spazio.
