adult education, non-formal education, active aging, generational cooperation, cultural heritage, traditional knowledge

Our institutions in joined cooperation are looking for partners or would like to join a project as partners. We are located in two small towns on the Great Hungarian Plain (Kunszentmárton and Mezőtúr), and our institutions involve several cultural establishments (museums, libraries, community center).

The main element of our implemented program would be the promoting and reinforcement of connections between generations, while promoting cultural and digital competences. Our museums have been locations of non-formal education and cooperation between generations for many years.

Our main directive for the project:
To research and work out effective ways for the young generation who were born into the digital era and deem it as natural to pass on their knowledge to older generations and the elderly. At the same time for the elderly to hand down their traditional and useful knowledge for the younger generations. We believe that it’s necessary to preserve the important and disappearing knowledge of our elders for sustainable development, but helping the older generation to succeed in using modern technology is just as important, since their kids and grandkids are born into this world, and this is where they feel at home.

We have years of practice in programs creating cultural communities, where preschoolers and elementary school children are connected to the elderly, and we would like to continue and expand on these experiences (preserving traditions, making photo albums together, using social networks, embroidery and sewing, traditional agricultural methods and preserving our natural environment).

We would like to cooperate with institutions, associations and civil organizations in this or in similar, connecting topics, but we are also interested in partnering as coordinators.
