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.

5.8 Evaluation
•
The evaluation board as the part of our regular project team meetings will evaluate all the
aims as they will be reached during the project life. Partial evaluation of all the project
progress (and all the aims planned) will be done 5 times during the project life. This will
ensure that we follow the aims fulfilment regularly. Evaluation process includes the precise
quantification of all the project aims as follows:
•
•
Project aims:

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 partner’s 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 stakeholders interested in it.
Another good result of this project will be Adults taking life more seriously when they improve their social skills and encourage
themselves to discover their identity as European citizens.
