Innovative education in the field of Intergenerational cooperation support

Description

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.
