E-Bazaar

Welcome and resonate about the conference on 14.4

EBG brings the know-how about the maintenance of the website and the related workshop – each partner should have a technical person of its behalf to learn from here and to be responsible of this activity locally.
Legal issues should be part of the training content (local, European, international)
For the commercialization of E-Bazaar we might have to create a company which means that users may have to pay a certain fee for maintenance. (After project end; during project lifetime free of charge)
E-Bazaar is a mean of occupation for seniors it isn’t a competition to eBay.
E-Bazaar is not only for selling goods it’s also for selling services.
We should make the learners aware of their skills and promoting them.
Visibility of the project is most important for its sustainability therefore dissemination and promotion is important.
We have no financing for new partners but they may be able to join at the end – in the business plan we will define the conditions to join E-Bazaar.

Country reports

France presented the results of the survey (the questionnaire was sent to all the partners)

Other countries haven’t used the questionnaire yet and may make some changes, Wales Uk did use the survey

and is waiting for some more responses, other partners used questionnaire or other tools to fix up the needs of

the target group.

All partners should provide an analysis report (market needs and target groups).

That will be integrated in the intermediary report so should be ready for the next meeting.

Partners should have a local flyer for its local information campaign.

Evaluation

Webshop àUse ELISE

Project àUse Kirckpatrick

The evaluation depends on what we would like to evaluate.

The evaluation must not create and extra work load.

It is important that the questionnaires to the participants will be clear and not too long so that the quality of the answers will be higher.
