The Taino Indians believed that there was a source of eternal youth on the mythical island of Bimini. Juan Ponce de Leon, a Spanish sailor, and explorer, also believed in this legend. In 1513, he organized an expedition that resulted in the discovery of new land – the island we now know as Florida. The source, however, he did not find.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be forever young? If so, welcome to the world of the Learning Tree project. A project that brought together generations, three countries – Poland, Italy and Turkey, researchers and practitioners, teachers and students. Project participants discovered their talents, used their creativity, and shared their stories with those they love by building family trees. We invite you into the world of a project that answers the question of the source of youth.

There are seven chapters in the book. In each of them the authors answer questions about genealogy, learning motivation and learning effectiveness of seniors. Each chapter is rich in theoretical and practical knowledge. Learning Tree is a great adventure for students and educators of all ages. It is a connecting journey between generations that is worth taking part in. We invite you to enter the world of the Learning Tree project and search together for answers to the question of the source of youth.
