Mokslo studiją "Senior Adults’ Participation in Volunteering" sudaro dvi dalys. Pirmojoje dalyje pateiktos teorinės savanorystės įžvalgos. Išanalizuoti įvairių autorių darbai apie savanorystės svarbą žmogaus egzistencijai. Savanoriavimo motyvus žmogus atranda ieškodamas atsakymo į klausimą, kodėl prasminga bendrai kurti gėrį visuomenėje. Antrojoje dalyje pristatomi empiriniai tyrimai, atlikti vykdant Vytauto Didžiojo (Lietuva) ir Thessaly (Graikija) universitetų tarptautinį savanorystės projektą "Communication, Empowering, Integration, Experience For Senior Age Volunteers (C.E.I.E.)". Dalyvaudami šiame projekte vyresnieji (senjorai) visuomenės nariai galėjo realizuoti save ir įgyti naujų kompetencijų: geriau pažinti žmones ir pasaulį, atrasti naujų galimybių per bendravimą, įvairias veiklas, teikdami pagalbą kitiems. Tyrimai bus naudingi visų pakopų studentams paskaitose, rengiant baigiamuosius darbus ar mokslo publikacijas.

Accomplished analytical work of various authors and sources which are analyzed and made some conclusions about the importance of volunteering in human existence. Volunteering reasons must occur in man, searching for the questions why and what man feels in contributing to the creation of the common goodness in society. The second part of the study presents various empirical studies which were carried out through Vytautas Magnus University (Lithuania) and the University of Thessaly (Greece), an international volunteer project “Communication, Empowering, Integration, Experience For Senior Age Volunteers (CEIES)". Through volunteering due to the project, the elder (seniors) members of the society were able to realize themselves and acquire new competencies: to get deeper knowledge in knowing people and the world around, discovering new opportunities for communication, activities and the provision of assistance for others. These studines were carried out, interpreted and presented and they will be able to serve for all students in the all level of lectures, preparing the final works and scientific publications.
