José Jesús Delgado Peña from Aula de Mayores de la Universidad de Málaga - Malaga - ES

Mükerrem YURDUSEVEN, Müjdat OCAK and Ali KARAPİRE from EdirneTurizm ve Otelcilik Meslek Lisesi Okul Aile Birligi - Edirne - TR

After a first round of introductions, the partners from Italy, Spain and Austria presented some experiences gained in previous projects and in particular in the following ones: “A sense of Place: presenting your locality” “mobile ICT-workshop for women in rural areas in a LEADER project” and “E-com45+ “.

All three experiences have shown different good practices and given interesting suggestions for the implementation of the new common project.

It has been decided that each partner who has presented those terminated projects or would like to present other ones (partner from Portugal volunteered to present a project as well) would send a one page text, briefly describing the projects, and outlining how these good experiences can be exploited in the OUTDOOR ICT cooperation in terms of:

- Best practices

- Innovative character

- Sustainable strategies

Deadline to send the texts to the Austrian partner (Annalisa Adamo) : 15 December 2011

After that the kick off meeting continued with the detailed checking of the whole project planned activities and planned outcomes in order to be sure to get a shared vision of the whole project lifetime.

Regarding the use of ICT/web tools for dissemination and for storing the project material, it has been decided that the partners from Turkey would take care (through one of their teachers) of managing the chosen project web2.0 tool, the Facebook Outdoor ICT page. Each partner is welcome to publish material and pictures and use this page also as a communication tool.

It has also been decided that the main dissemination and storing tool will be produced by the Spanish partner Jesus, who will create and manage the project web site. Each partner is invited to contribute to it as soon as it is ready. The web site will be presented by the Spanish partner at the second project meeting in France in April 2012. The web site at the end will contain all information regarding the project, the partners’ institutions, the partner meetings, learners and teachers visits and exchanges and the final materials.

The two responsible managers of the Agenda 21 office of the Municipality of Udine then presented the ICT tool they are developing in Udine and that will be used by the citizens and stakeholders in order to use and discover the city and its surroundings. This tool is still in construction but it could be of great inspiration and help for the implementation of the project’s practical activities.

Further dialogues will occur with the Agenda 21 managers in order to understand if this tool can be shared or partly reproduced also in the other partners’ frameworks. Partners will receive inputs about these dialogues as soon as possible.

Nevertheless, the partnership agreed that a State Of The Art (SOTA) analysis will be necessary and each partner will start a small research regarding what is available on their territories in terms of

ICT /multimedia tools same as or similar to Geocaching that can be used during the experimentation phase of the project at local level and during the transnational visits. The SOTA analysis could also contain some information on the ICT needs of the people45+ in each partner’s territory.

The Italian partner will collect all the SOTA analysis from the partners and will produce one document summarizing them all.

Deadline to send to the Italian partner (Alessia) the SOTA analysis is 20^th of February 2012.

Regarding the recruitment of the adults who will attend the ICT training and experiment the ICT related outdoor activities, all partners from November 2011 on will start to advertise the project aims and planned activities. The group can be composed of around 20 adult learners, ideally 40/45 plus. Each partner will also identify the ICT teacher/s who will deliver the basic ICT training for the selected groups. The training will take place in each partner institution around May 2012.

A LEAFLET containing useful information for the advertizing of the training will be produced for the use of each partner. The French partner (Monique) will take care of directing the contents distribution and the general layout. Each partner will then be able to personalize it a little and distribute it in its places. The French partners will present the final version of the leaflet during the second partner meeting in Paris in April 2012.

Finally the partners have agreed on the following dates and places for the next project meetings and transnational visits (travel days included):

2^nd meeting: 11-14 April 2012 in Paris (France) Participants: project representatives +1 or 2 teachers/trainers per partner (who will share knowledge and experiences on ICT related outdoor tools)
