7. Conclusions

We have encountered problems as outlined above, but we are resolving them as we continue learning.

Actually they are insignificant in comparison with the great amount we have achieved, both in learning, and in enriching our social lives.

Ricardo says: "Thanks to the project, our group has acquired a knowledge of self-learning, basing ourselves in our group work, in observation and in the discoveries made in our research."

Another member, Miguel Guirao, expresses how surprised he has been to see "how much has been achieved by the group of senior citizens involved in this project, in the level of commitment, the efficiency demonstrated, and the level of integration obtained, all of this with a method of learning which has pre-supposed the command of the new technology; perhaps what was hoped for. The boundaries of expectations and personal resources have been broadened significantly, both literally, in comprehension, and in the growing friendships being formed among people from different countries, who a few months ago, did not even know one another; and in the ability to participate in research on a topic of much common interest.

I would like to give the last word to Miguel Jimenez, another member of the group: "We feel ourselves amply compensated for the educational efforts we have made, which have enabled us to reach the goal of the programme 'self-learning'. It is in this that we have experienced the different aspects, which enrich this satisfaction. With boldness one can attempt everything, although one cannot succeed in everything. There is nothing more satisfying than work done for oneself."
