  Approaching the learning of the third age, the question is no longer whether the elderly can be taught or retrained, but for how long and for what purpose? Deviations from the learning paths that individuals have developed over the decades are unlikely in old age. Non-formal learning becomes more important and plays an increasing role, and less constrained forms of leisure learning for entertainment become more important. Mental freshness is largely supported by books, online courses and programs provided by senior universities.

  In my presentation, I introduce an interactive curriculum as a possible new form of learning. I have combined e-learning solutions in old age that affect everyone as a new learning method. I would like to introduce the 50+ age group to the possibilities offered by microlearning. Most of us read, learn things after we have engaged at some level. I would like to prevent this step. I am also looking for answers to questions like, does the 50+ age group have the right skills and motivation to effectively adopt an online course or e-learning curriculum In the process of aging - can an e-learning curriculum be a good motivation for course participants because it touches them or prevents them? The lessons of the experiment, both positive and negative, are presented.

  For a long time, competition in old age has not been a focus of interest for researchers because none of the psychological theories of aging assumed that the motivation to compete persists in old age. The two most prevalent models, the so-called "Deficit Model" (Cumming & Henry, 1961) and the so-called "Integrated Personality Model" (Erikson, 1963), have previously held that the psychological conditions for competition are not present in old age.  In contrast, the concept of successful aging (Baltes, 1990), introduced as a consequence of the steady increase in life expectancy, assumes that goals, aspirations, and desires survive into old age.

  In general, social impact investing may refer to providing capital to companies, organizations, and funds that are focused on solving critical societal or environmental problems. Social responsibility includes ideas that investors should balance profit-making with activities that benefit society as well because social impact investing focuses on positively impacting the society where it operates. Recently, large international companies reconsidering their motivation within their companies’ goal while their consumers purchase goods and services shifting their responsibility to profits and benefits. It seems small and medium-sized companies need also to develop ethics that guarantee the success of their activity with social responsibility issues. Therefore, for the most effectiveness of social impacts, the companies voluntarily have to operate under pressure from outside forces such as the conscious society.
