2. WEBSITE PRESENTATION
Some details that are important for all sites:
For administrators:
- If you want to change the website-name for your country in another
URL, you can order it in your country. Costs depend on local possibilities.
- Each partner still has to look over the site and make linguistic corrections
in the excel file!
- Local administrators can organise geographical divisions (streets,
districts…) according to own needs. Each country sets up the region or area
from which stories are collected
- Local administrators have to organise and add associations.
-The administrator can add events (f.ex.
meeting in
-The headbanner for your country has to be a
.gif-file and 550 x 100pixels
-It is possible to make more banners that alternate each
x-seconds, also controlled by administrator.
-The administrator can adjust also the right banner, for ex. to put
links to all organisations that deal with heritage in the region, country…
-Important to put
the grundtvig-logo!!!
-To finish the website for your own country, it is useful to find
someone with computer skills in your mother tongue and who is willing to
communicate in order to finish the website of your country.
For users-uploaders:
- All written documents, magazines, text related materials must be in .pdf-file.
- The comment-tool on the
- To upload pictures, use .jpg file only.
General:
- For translation of the “categories”, the worldwide AAT-system is being
used (Arts and Architectural Treasures).
- The project starts from the memory and stories of senior citizens and
the processes of digitalize pictures and other materials about those stories.
- It would be unique to work on one or more thematically approaches over
several countries. (see program of day 2).
- It would be great if our site with local projects could become
integrated in websites such as: -europeana.eu
-memoro.org

Introduction by
4. THEMATICAL APPROACH
Aim is to make a ‘global text and small study on some specific themes
with pictures from several local partners’. This is a process where each
partner has to look for someone who wants to actively participate to create a
global text. This means: in English, searching picture material in it’s own town, writing text… Each team has a coordinator who
takes responsibility to develop the theme together with those partners who
accepted.
All theme’s proposed:
1.
My school (classrooms): uniforms, punishment systems, rituals during
day, boys and girls together or separated, famous teachers over decades, school
structure (ex. until what age to attend school)…
This theme will be coordinated by Polish partner
2. My life and my village in World War 2.
3. House hold objects from my youth and evolution
4. Transport in the 20th century (trains, trams, horses…).
Chosen by
