Competences of the active senior

The project " Competences of the active senior - Storytelling 55+" is implemented by organizations from Poland, Slovenia and Italy under the Erasmus + program, Adult Education, Action 2 Strategic Partnerships.

PROJECT AIMS:

  1. To create innovative intellectual outputs for educators working with seniors;
  2. To raise level of key competences among seniors in the area of understanding and creating information, ICT, personal, social and in the field of learning as well as cultural awareness and expression;
  3. To build awareness about the European cultural heritage and European identity;
  4. To activate older people and to support intergenerational dialogue;
  5. To strengthen the potential of partner organizations.

The project consists in developing innovative results of intellectual work for educators working with seniors. The results will support the competences of seniors in the field of cultural storytelling using ICT. We want to support seniors in acquiring the skills to talk about cultural heritage, especially to younger generations, which is why we anticipate the use of modern technologies. An international team of experts (2-4 people from each country) will be set up to work on the results. They will be people with extensive experience, expert knowledge and documented successes.

INTELLECTUAL OUTPUTS

  1. "Cultural Storytelling" training course: class scenarios for seniors.

The course will consist of a series of workshops for seniors.

The course will consist of 4 thematic modules:

  • MODULE I - Introduction to storytelling
  • MODULE II - Local cultural heritage
  • MODULE III - Storytelling on the web
  • MODULE IV - Multimedia for the promotion of cultural heritage
  1. A set of storytelling cards - story cards about local cultural heritage.

We will create a unique and innovative storytelling tool for constructing stories about the region's cultural heritage and reflection on its meaning. The cards will be prepared in such a way as to build intergenerational dialogue (seniors - young people), based on a review of proven narrative structures and models, repeated in the most engaging stories. Hints, slogans, suggestions, questions contained on the cards will become a pretext for the story and conversation, structure and extract "hidden knowledge", especially about intangible heritage (knowledge, skills, practices, ideas, values, images, messages).
