Ponte - Sep 2016 - Volume 72 - Issue 9 doi: 10.21506/j.ponte.2016.9.4 Abstract: Learning and education can have an important influence on strengthening social networks of older people, giving different kinds of social support and diminish their exclusion (Jelenc Krašovec & Kump, 2009), but also influence community well-being (Golding, 2011). The research show that in urban areas in Slovenia there is more educational offer for older adults in educational institutions, but in rural areas the voluntary association (VAs) play more important role in social activities and learning of older people (Jelenc Krašovec & Kump, 2012). The methodology of our research is based on a successive use of quantitative and qualitative methods (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2011). First we performed a quantitative survey of the state of art of VAs in selected quarters in Ljubljana, and supplemented it with primary research, i.e., case studies. In the case study research we will use triangulation of research methods.
