Discussion Project application A preparatory meeting took place in January 2009 in Krakov (Poland)
with the presence of representatives from Belgium, Poland, France, Estonia
and Portugal. At the moment 3 countries are still on the reserved list: Latvia,
Estonia and Bulgaria. Ivo gave a PowerPoint presentation on the aims and objectives of the
project. It summarised the main points included in the project application: - to encourage senior citizens to promote their
cultural and historical heritage in dialogue with young people and using new
technologies. - to develop seniors’ European citizenship - to digitise local history and common memories - to share local memories and patrimony by developing
and using a multilingual tool accessible from each partner country - to provide basic ICT and foreign language training Project delivery For this project we agreed to define the definition of senior citizens
is 50+. Any seniors can be involved in the project with or without ICT
experience. The younger generation will have the opportunity to contribute to
the web tool by working with the seniors and to populate the website. ICT courses: we agreed to work more in the direction of
“recommendations”, useful in different kind of computer courses for senior
citizens, rather than to develop a complete course. Recommendations based on
the use of images and information of the past. For the local history, the heritage part, the project will create a
common internet platform. The idea is
that each partner country will be able to use this website in its national
language to post local history data such as photos, posters, videos, etc…
Jerzy (Poland) said that the Group needs to think of common topics under
which the data will be classified (e.g. street names, celebrations, economic
life, sport, etc….) As possible model, Ivo showed the Group the Belgian website as it
exists at the moment. It can be found on www.ganshoren-ingezoomd.be Margaret (UK) raised the issue about data protection especially with
data that could cause problems if they are published in the public domain
(e.g demonstrations showing faces of people, political meetings…). Ivo said
that it will be the responsibility of each national website administrator to
allow publication. Further discussion will be needed to give a legal
framework to the websites. Each locality will have its own website in its national languages (9
national websites). These national websites will be accessible through a
dedicated HeuritAge website written in English. The participants will input data onto their
national website in their native language. But some data will be translated
in English and made available to all partners/participants. These will be the
outputs for everybody. It was decided that the HeuritAge website and national websites will
have a URL address only available to partners organisations (and local
project participants) for a first period to make sure that all works properly
and to put in content. When both conditions are reached, the websites will be
able to be open to the broader public. Communication Two contact names per partner organisation are required to be put on
the mailing list. Anett (Hungary) suggested the creation of a Group mailing
list on Google and asked partners to send her details of the two contact
names by 27th November. Budget With regard to mobilities, travel and subsistence costs are paid by
each partner organisation. The host country will source the best value
accommodation and catering so that the stay in the host country remains
reasonable. Meetings The Group agreed that mobilities should be for at least a day and a
half and occur at the end of a week (with Friday the main working day).
If partners/participants want to stay longer in the host country, it will be
their responsibility to arrange the stay. The mobilities scheduled in the original application had to be
reviewed as some countries have not been approved for funding: 2nd Mobilitity – Newport, United Kingdom Date: February 2010 Theme: HeuritAge website and national websites Google as partnership communication tool Update on progress 3rd Mobility – Cintra, Portugal Date: End of June 2010 Theme: Presentation of the HeuritAge website / short pilot Translation of websites Update on progress 4th Mobility – Cyprus Date: November 2010 Theme: to be confirmed later 5th Mobility – Italy (Sicilia) Date: Feb/March 2011 Theme: to be confirmed later 6th Mobility – Brussels, Belgium Date: June 2011 Theme: Project dissemination at EU levels |
