The project reacts on present social and demographic trends, which cause new needs in the field of education of various social groups. On one hand there is the problem of rapidly ageing population in the whole Europe combined with a considerable change in relations within families. Family members are living further apart from each other and are losing their natural intergenerational composition. At the same time, the recent aggressive development of information and communication technologies (including the use of internet) very substantially contributes to the deepening of the intergenerational gap.Even though there are many policies, action plans etc. focusing on the issue of the intergeneration cooperation support, the main bearers of these activities (i.e. NGOs and volunteers) have at present no comprehensive and systematic methodology how to carry out such support. During the last years, there were implemented many projects in the field of the intergenerational cooperation support, however, they were limited from the territorial, content/activity or time point of view (often combined). The current intergenerational social and communication gap is a problem of the whole Europe, and therefore has to be solved on an international level.The main project objective is, therefore, to develop a new educational programme in the field of intergenerational cooperation support that will provide the target group (volunteers) with a complex methodology how to efficiently provide their services.The project will provide the volunteers across Europe with a systematic approach modern tools (Activity register) do start and develop their activities in the field of intergenerational cooperation support with various social/age group (pre-school children + seniors, school children/youth + seniors, adults in productive age + seniors, adults over 55 + seniors or little children etc.)The project will be implemented by a consortium composed of 5 entities from 5 different countries. All the members of the partnership are either NGOs or educational institutions. All of them are at present active in the field of intergenerational cooperation support. A lot of the partners have already implemented projects (national/international) focusing on the field of intergenerational cooperation support.There will be supported approximately 372 participants, from which there are:- volunteers (TtT activities, pilot testing) – ca 120 persons - secondary target group (people using services of institutions, e.g. senior houses, kindergartens, primary schools, other educational institutions, community houses etc.) – ca 90 persons- other stakeholders (dissemination activities) – 162 personsThe project implementation will consist of the following activities:1) Analysis of the state of the art 2) Development of a new educational programme (incl. the Activity register which will be accessible online on the newly established online portal)3) Train the trainers (TtT) activities4) Pilot testing and evaluation of the developed programme 5) Multiplier events and dissemination6) Project managementThere will be 2 main results created within the project, namely:1) a comprehensive analysis of the state of the art in all the 5 partner countries2) a new educational programme in the field of intergenerational cooperation support using, among others, modern ICTs as tools as methodology aidsThe long-term project’s impact:The new methodology will continue to be spread across the partner countries of the project (to new volunteers and organisations). At the same time, there will take place several trainings in the other European countries which will enable to extend the methodology also to these regions. The level of intergenerational cooperation will increase not only in partner countries, but also in other European countries, where the methodology will be spread.

2018 was the European Year of Cultural Heritage. We believe that the international sharing of cultural knowledge is a constant priority and shouldn’t be interrupted at the end of the year. Cultural activities are precious tools to reunite people and instigate an educational dialogue between generations.PROJECT OBJECTIVES: To improve the accessibility of learning opportunities for adults, to enable people to become closer to and more involved with their cultural heritage, which is both, unique and diverse.To promote social inclusion and seniors’ motivation through innovative integrated approaches like intergenerational learning on a local and international level.To foster the professional development of educators focusing on improved in-service training as well as on new forms of adult learning and providing adult education, and better exploitation of the ICT potential.To increase education of volunteers in this field. The TARGET GROUPS are: decision makers, adult learners/seniors, adult educators and young people who are ready to be involved in intergenerational learning, the local stakeholderThere are 80 international mobilities foreseen in 3 Joint staff training events and 2 Blended mobilities. LOCAL ACTIVITIES:Sharing of experience and best practices among representatives of national, regional and local administrations and other organisations, in addition to the dissemination of information.The analyze of the existing experience in every country. Before every international learning teaching activity: analyze, summarizing and selection of the information about the cultural heritage concerning chosen topics in other partners’ regions, creating and using the learning materials about these topics. (Before the JTE in the Czech Republic all partners will work with craftsmanship topic and digitalisation of the cultural heritage materials of their countries/regions, before the BM in Austria- learn about the agricultural heritage, before the BM Poland- about the Nature heritage, before the JTE in France- about the Culinary heritage). Preparation and implementation of local exhibitions, presentations, workshops about these topics for their demonstration during the relevant following international LTAs. Regular cooperation activities with local stakeholders, consultations, discussions about the challenges and advantages of intergenerational learning and its role in social inclusion.Local seminars/workshops for adults/seniors educators and local stakeholders. These seminars/workshops will focus on role and opportunities of the cultural heritage as a space for learning, inclusion and job creation.Project dissemination materials creation and distribution during the project and after.METHODS: Analyze of existing gaps and needs. Intergenerational learning courses. Local and international seminars. Combination short periods of physical mobility with virtual mobility and use the information and communication technologies such as collaborative workspaces, Skype video conferences, social media, etc. to complement the learning outcomes of physical mobility. Exchange of best practice experience, testing of the most successful models in partner countries. Seniors’ education advertisement. Voluntaries' involvement.TANGIBLE RESULTS:Project Journals,E- exhibitions,Materials of the intergenerational cultural heritage educational workshops on the local and international level, Handbook for intergenerational meeting/learning planning, Web-documentary. The desired IMPACT of the project is a contribution through the project approach to promote and build and further develop intergenerational cooperation and social inclusion through educational activities on local, regional, national and European level. All partners will have new more attractive offers for adults, improve the cooperation with local stakeholders, have new volunteers.There will be more opportunities to make the learning/training more attractive, creating closer connections between the society and educational establishment that will have large and long-term positive effect; improvement of quality of educational activities, inclusion of innovative and advanced methodical procedures; better cooperation between colleagues inside the institution and between public authorities and adults’ education organizations; raising reputation and attractiveness of our institutions by providing additional learning/training input and international cooperation. Sharing project results not only internally but also with external stakeholders we will enable others to benefit from the activities and experiences of the Erasmus+ programme and inspire them by showing what is possible to achieve under the programme. The dissemination and exploitation of project results within these target audiences will highlight the European added value of the project activities.
