• Making seniors active

5.1 Summary

• Over the last decades a generation gap has
  seperated youngsters and senior citizens, who
  have few common values. Hence the need to foster
  communication through the common creation of toys
  and games from the past in order to bring these
  two groups and to fill in part of this gap.
• Toys are important elements of cultual heritage,
  and each country has its own tradition. This
  project will also reinforce knowledge about
  European countries and narrow the gap between
  different cultures as the principles of EU
  recommend.
• The toys and games from the past will be revived
  through a comprehensive research undertaken both
  by the youngsters and the seniors. Then, during
  common wokshops, the groups will produce them
  according to the original plan, using techniques
  such as carving, painting etc.
• These workshop will bring together youngsters and
  seniors citizens from several different European
  countries, making seeniors feel active and useful
  again as well as bringing youngsters to show
  interest into cultural heritage and exchange with
  people from diffrent age groups and nations.

5.10 Integration into learning and or other
ongoing activities

• The main project product is the e-handbook of the
  strong points and the opportunities in for
  adults/seniors at each partners organization.
  These points are the outcomes of toys produced by
  seniors taking part in the project life time. The
  project partners are educational institutions,
  which should benefit from the project results
  especially regarding the cultural exchange
  possibilities both for age gaps and international
  seniors. They should widen their portfolio of the
  education programs and offer them better
  opportunities for seniors, preferably using some
  appropriate grant possibilities. The partners of
  the project will also use the project output (the
  e-handbook) including it in their own training
  system, experimenting it in their organization
  and in other structures too.
• Every country should practice on facilitating,
  monitoring, and evaluating the integration of
  cultural exchanges for everyone not only in
  social services but also for those who want to
  learn in LLP. New information, education,
  teaching new skills and creating social support
  for a safer environment in adult education are
  assets to bring up this project.

5.11 dissemination and results

• The dissemination process within the partnership
  is the crucial part of the project activities.
• Generally all the information will be available
  on the project web page maintained by the French
  partner. This web-page will carry all the
  necessary information and step by step all the
  outputs will be put there for the use of the
  stakeholders and beneficiaries.
• All the outputs of the project meetings and the
  particular project parts will be spread as wide
  as possible among the potential stakeholders
  (which are educational institutions, adult
  education services, local or governmental
  authorities) also in the newsletters (5x during
  the project life) and finally in the e-handbook.
• The particular researches, reports and finally
  the handbook together with all the experiences
  exchanged and transferred during the meetings
  will be used as the source of information to
  decide about creation of new educational programs
  for social services.
• Important dissemination point will be the
  seminars held together with the project meetings
  in the countries hosting the meetings. After the
  final handbook is made, one more seminar will be
  organized in each partners country to inform the
  stakeholders about this product and to enable its
  wide spreading. At the end of the project the
  summary of the project work will be published in
  the professional magazines.
• in the local communities
• Local communities in each country where project
  meetings will be held together with the public
  seminary will be invited to attend the seminary,
  or to contribute actively to the seminary
  program. All the stakeholders will be informed
  about the results of the project by the
  news-letter, and at the end they will get the
  e-handbook.
• in the wider life-long learning community
• Results of this project will serve for the future
  use of many institutions working in the field of
  education for the social services. We will try to
  spread the results as much as possible to all the
