To identify educational needs of people over 50 and improve teaching and developing the offer of education for people over the age of 50, in the framework of Grundtvig project AWAKE (Aging With Active Knowledge and Experience) the survey was carried out in project's partners' countries: Poland, Italy, Romania, Lithuania and Latvia. The questionnaire was divided into four diagnostic blocks: Current situation, Needs and expectations, Possibilities and barriers and Volunteering. Each part contained the questions on the use of ICT (information and communication technologies). Active aging includes various areas of human life: participation in the labor market; the household-related activities, including homework and other care; active participation in community life, including volunteering and active use of leisure time for hobbies, sports, travel, creative activities. Of course, a better use of the information and communication technologies can provide significantly greater benefit to the public, increase the individual's role in civic democracy and successful development. Therefore, this paper gives short overview of the project and contains evaluation of the use ICT in education of 50+ people in partners' countries as well as outlines the tips for Europe Union institutions.
