In the HAHAS project the partners will visit and learn about each others countries through the exploration of humour as it is manifest in many art forms. Together we will: 1 Learn the theory and practice of humour to promote health, well being, and learning in later life, as well as improving communication and motivation. 2 Explore the manifestations of humour in different media in our different countries, for example through dance, cartoon, theatre, film and song, and learn the vocabularies of humour across our four countries.3 Learn each others' languages through our exploration of our countries' art forms.4 Use IT skills to share our new learning across our countries, locally and nationally and with other people in the life long learning community.5 Produce a web site, a post card 'laughter is the best medicine ' in all our languages. 6 Create some examples of humour in different art forms and share these with other colleagues in life long learning organizations. 7 Develop a resource pack of information about humour from our countries and a calendar of cartoons with input from our four countries; a song and sketch we create using all our languages. 8 Ensure the continued engagement of older citizens in learning and promote their continued participation in society and creative activities.
