Projects

The project has used a simple but effective methodology of thematically based shared classes in order to help adult and senior learners to ease their way through the educational process. The methodological approach is based on four pillars: motivation, learning through acting, self-confidence and active participation of the adults all along the learning process. Many of the products of the project like project logo, recipes collection, stories, calendar, blog, pictures, videos, etc. were created by the adult learners during the actual thematically based shared classes and shared during the project meetings.

DALEC was a “Media Project Old and Young” with the thematic focus on “Values and Paths along the Danube” across five countries. Five scientific lectures were prepared by scientists for lay people, held live to an audience in the respective locations and transmitted over the internet in an online-lecture series. The lectures were discussed face to face and via internet forums nationally and transnationally. The accompanying discussions, therefore, also contributed to a better understanding between old and young. In mini-projects some of the young and old participants worked with different methods based on the topics of the lectures. In the end, more than five mini projects were accomplished and complemented the online-lectures.
