A/HRC/33/44 as the removal of physical barriers in court buildings. Moreover, members of the judiciary receive training on the rights of older persons. 75. Individual assessments of victims of crime seek to identify during criminal proceedings those victims who are most vulnerable, such as older persons, to secondary and repeat victimization, intimidation and retaliation. That practice benefits older persons as it identifies the particular protection needs of every victim. K. Education, training and lifelong learning 76. Lifelong learning is not only a precondition for longer participation in the labour market, it also affects the social integration of older persons. A number of countries have developed lifelong learning programmes for older persons or created third age universities. It is important to take into account the specific needs and interests of older persons in designing educational programmes, as older persons learn differently from younger ones. At the same time, it is important to maintain a range of programmes that do not exclusively target older persons, as that would be limiting and could lead to the creation of social spaces of exclusion. 77. Educational programmes that are open to younger adults and older persons foster intergenerational learning and intergenerational understanding. An example is opening up regular university courses to older persons. 78. Education and training of older persons can take many forms. Examples are courses promoting the use of information technology by older persons and their participation in online communities, online platforms to train them to become entrepreneurs or virtual academies, which offer a wider range of courses and learning opportunities for older persons to enable them to remain cognitively and socially engaged. Some municipal centres provide integrated services for older persons, from cultural and recreational activities to socio-legal services. L. Accessibility 79. Putting in place age-friendly and barrier-free infrastructures requires the systematic inclusion of accessibility criteria in housing and building codes and in city planning and the human rights compliant involvement of architects and engineers in the design of buildings and public places. 80. Measures to transform cities and communities and make them more accessible in terms of meeting the needs of older persons must target all areas, including transportation, public space and housing, to avoid the creation of so-called prison flats and care settings. Examples of improvements to buses, trains and pedestrian infrastructure are the creation of elevators at pedestrian overhead bridges and the longer duration of the green light to enable older persons to cross traffic junctions safely. Lighting, improved footpaths, seating and the removal of architectural barriers make public spaces more accessible and age-friendly. 81. Innovative accessibility approaches to ensure independent living include concepts such as smart homes, autonomous vehicles, the use of robotics and age-friendly smart cities. 82. The deployment of mobile teams to provide services to older persons in rural and remote areas, for instance civil documents, was also reported. 14 GE.16-11742
