I.       What have been done since the first meeting

Spain:

They did workshops with the “School of Experiences” (people over 50) on Saturday morning (from 11.30am to 1pm). 3 classes by now with 14 people (only 5 were over 50). They explained differences between biography, autobiography and diaries. They asked seniors to tell about their experiences (feelings such as their first love, family etc.)., then seniors has to write it. They offered new way to express (video) but seniors rejected it mainly because they don’t know how to do it.

Poland:

Workshops dedicated to autobiographies with 2 different methods: biographical essay (seniors stories) and biographical interviews (seniors interviewed by students). Topic: education (formal, non-formal and informal). Students will show how to create blogs to seniors.

Italy:

Not started yet. What they can do: training courses & guidance AND/OR social researches.

Austria:

During the first meeting, the polish partner made us play a game: a key-word came up and everyone has to tell about his experience related to this key-word. Austria made an online version of this game, available here: http://mem.iasio.org/
