Abstract
This study aims to identify the experience and meaning of middle-aged and elderly retired professionals participation in the educational support project for social contribution activities, and to explore the diffusion method of educational support projects and practical and effective alternatives. To conduct the study, we performed a focus group interview (FGI) with nine middle-aged and elderly retired professionals who participated in the educational support project for social contribution activities. The collected data were analyzed through thematic analysis, and the main research results were categorized into four themes with relevant twelve sub-themes as follows: 1) ‘Life dynamics,’ 2) ‘Networking: expansion of experience,’ 3) ‘Need for redefining the concept,’ and 4) ‘Need for re-education opportunities,’. Based on this study’s results, we have suggested the practical implications of social welfare necessary for the diffusion of the educational support project for social contribution activities and the adaptation of social participation of middle-aged and elderly retired professionals.
