LOCAL ACTIVITES Examples
Project presentation to LAR members 19 June 2023
In the initial stages of the project, we organised several occasions to inform and involve students, teachers and volunteers on the project objectives. In our vision, learning is a crucial element of well-being, especially in adulthood and advanced age, helping people to connect to a complex and intercultural society, to the environment and with themselves. The project intends to spread this reasoning among our members/students and find together new ways to implement it in their daily lives.
The aim is to make those who attend our activities more aware of the power of informal and non-formal learning: learning through a course, a seminar, a trip is not only about acquiring new knowledge but also motivational and personal growth tools that can then be 'spent' in everyday life.The 'effort' is thus transformed into the pleasure of learning to learn, more aware of how to use the knowledge acquired also independently. Not least, the possibility of developing a common basis for lasting transnational cooperation capable of bringing the European dimension to the local level.
Visiting the Ethnographic Museum in Krakow June 2023
While implementing our local educational programme, we gave some thought to the issue of the value and meaning of everyday life and everyday items. We went to the Ethnographic Museum to see how these problems were treated in the past in rural areas. Afterwards, we had a very interesting discussion which was concluded by an observation that nowadays, everyday life and everyday items are underestimated and this badly affects our wellbeing.
LAR associative educational journey in Val D'Aosta, Fenis 9-16 July 2023
We always organise a travel to the mountains in July for our community of members, students and teachers: it’s an opportunity to get together, learn new things, share experiences. This was also an important moment to engage some of our members on the main focuses of the L&L project, also with a view to consolidating the target group.
The teachers and project coordinator worked daily with the learners participating in the educational journey on the awareness of the value of learning in every context of life as a motivational tool for personal growth to be used in everyday life. Special emphasis was also placed on learning digital technologies that are functional for travelling and the value of a deeper knowledge of cultural aspects of places other than our own.
