  1. "Building bridges between differentgenerations in different contexts"...

  2. Grundtvig project The Grundtvig project aims at improving the life quality for families and promoting a better social cohesion and Intergenerational solidarity. In this Partnership we will create an exchange at educational and cultural level of the several approaches on theme about Inclusive Family Learning, discussing with learners, debate and ideas exchange, promoting national experiences in a International Seminars.

  3. Intergenerational and Family Learning for the Lifelong Learning Society

  4. Explore a new approach to adults learning Communication between schools and parents becomes crucial in supporting the effective engagement of students in school activities. Ipssar “Pietro Piazza very often has to tackle both the problem of integrating children at risk and educating adults to understand their children’s learning/social problem within the school so the participants had the opportunity to explore a new approach to adults learning and training to improve the educational relationship mobilizing the family members to learn together.

  5. Focus on family learning outcomes The workshops focussed on learning outcomes for adults and young students and how these can be developed into interactive intergenerational learning. We aimed at transforming the educational relationship supporting and motivating families and trainers with pathways to improve their knowledge by means of family learning: adults are not only caregivers, but also educators, whose actions significantly impact the schooling system as well as future life, and the lifelong learning decisions of growing children being a means for achieving socio-cultural inclusion and preventing students from dropping out of education.

  6. The GaetanoBasile’sevidendence (ON “4OOO ANNI DI CUCINA”) The group of parents of our students involved in the Grundtvig project has attended a series of workshops led by prof. GaetanoBasile discovering History, Geography, Art, Social Organization, Traditions, Synchronic and Diachronic Use of Sicilian/Italian Language through 4000 years of gastronomy.

  7. Parents workshops The participants had the opportunity to explore a new approach to • adults learning and training to improve the educational relationship mobilizing the family members to learn together • the training of adults trainers (parents/teachers) • technologies and family learning ( ICT is a privileged means of learning and creates enormous benefit across different generations bringing young people and senior together) • intergenerational transmission, or exchange of knowledge (4000 years of gastronomy) between one generation and another Parents attended the workshops with increasing enthusiasm showing how learning can be an enjoyable and positive experience to be transferred to their children.

  8. Engagement with further learning activities Helping families to reflect on what they have learned and achieved by taking part to the workshops we managed to highlight the importance of stimulating their children’s learning and development, motivating parents and grandparents to engage with further learning activities.

  9. Monitoring the course satisfaction At the end of the course the parents were asked to fill in a questionnare concerning the new methodological ideas acquired during the workshops Parents were asked to answer questions aiming at checking if • communication inside the family group had improved as a result of attending the workshops • the acquired personal knowledge may be transferred in every day life • they had acquired a good practice to interact with their children • they were stimulated to research further information on the topics they had been exposed to • they had the chance to transfer what they had learned to their children and questions aiming at checking their satisfaction about the topics, the methodologies used, the communicative skills of the trainer and tutors. The results were absolutely encouraging. The percentage of the item “very good” is predominant in all questions. Here are some examples:
