TOYS OF MY GRANDPARENTS

This project aims improving an educational pathway for ageing population in Europe with the cooperation of adult education providers in EU border regions. With an innovative pedagogical approach the partner organizations will try to build an inter generational bridge for the social integration of activated seniors and youth to fulfill best practices among countries in EU borders. This project focuses on seniors over 50 years old and courage them to re-create their own periods' of toys on computer based platforms during a 4 months of training. The course as we call "Toys integrated ICT skills" will not only make them acquire the skills to improve their self esteem but also make them feel useful themselves for today's society. Toys have always been one of the most valuable cultural elements in previous generations though they've been replaced with today’s technological entertainment elements. That's the reason why the staff of this partnership will find the most representing toys of their country and culture. These toys'll be integrated into the common course curriculum for every partner organization holding "Toys integrated ICT course". Many of the products of the project like project logo, toys presentations on power point, painted toys on paint etc. will be created by the adult learners right after they complete their ICT courses. Meetings will be held after courses are completed. Each meeting means a transnational exhibition, fair for adult learners' exhibiting their toys with computer skills they gained. Learners will also play the original toys with young people during the exhibitions as to create a strong generational cultural bridge. A final survey will be implemented to create a modelling frame as an example of good practice in the field of adult education in EU.
