In October, Rato - ADCC has also developed the project "Programa Teclar" that was developed in close partnership with Seixal's City Hall and gave the possibility to different seniors from this municipalityof Seixal to develop the initial computer skills. It has been an activity that made the Rato - ADCC and the Youth Centre of Seixal an intergenerational meeting point.

BRIDGE contributed to enlarge and strengthen the partnership with other organizations 1) in the international level and 2) local level. The topics associated to the project were already a strategic path in the local work of Rato - ADCC but during the project these ideas became more relevant. Based on this, Rato - ADCC will implement a youth exchange in the framework of Erasmus+ dedicated to the use of game approach and intergenerational dialogue and one of the partners is Kobiety.Lodz.Pl.

By learning new skills and by the acquisition of new knowledge. Development of communication skills between generations and

teamwork.It has been achieved everyone to see which are the single limits and what the strongest aspects that may contribute to the development of the project are.- Youth volunteers has developed language workshops where participants have different ages (in between our seniors volunteers)


- (November 2013) Street interview by teenager (they made the questionnary before with their idea of the different age step of life): The teenager can have a mobile phone ? Do you trust a teenager ? Do we are old because we have wihte hair ? Can we have all the generations, the same look ? is it the age before 18 to have a baby ? - (December 2013) Street workshop withe the question : 0 to 113 years old what do we share ? The idea was asking to the people the thinking about and write it to big paper, we collected 60 answers.- (March 2014) Day of play for all the ages. During this days, children, teenager, young people, middle age and seniors share time to play all together and create link. During the afternoon a forum drama was arganize around this question : "How take time in family without screen".- (June 2014) Art, forum drama and reflection. During this day the participants realize and artistic workshop to compose a face with diferent ages. After that they have a reflexion about : Disrespect is onely a question about young people ? The diferent generation confronted their point of view with some drama stage.

During all the grundtvig project, discover the others organisation and their idea about the topic, it was very rich for our own reflection. More of that the meeting permite to participant to discover others points of views and realities. It was a good and hard cooperation but we succeed to create a real view of intergnerational initiative in Europe to think about a more inclusive socity for all generation in the future.


teams (4 participants each) could learn and "feel on their own skin" intergenerational dialogue's strenght and great value2. Intergenerational quiz - the idea was similar to the one above - as our specificity as the organisation is that naturally, on the daily basis our main "target" and in general - people who visit us are mainly representatives of youth - we decided ta make a bigger event where we could invite people of different ages and through common action including common goal - this time the form was: intergenerational quiz - and again, in age-mixed teams (4 participants each) people could feel the strenght and possibilities of international dialogue3. Intergenerational & international Human Library - motivated by the mobility in Czech Republic and its great example of intergenerational mix, we decided to make an international & intergenerational activity in International Boat of Culture - festival organised by EVS volunteers hosted by KobieTY. Supported by Daniela from Xena (once again thank you for the great materials!) we proposed to our mentors, friends and well-wishers of our organisation the opportunity to become a "book" and tell person's story. In the end we gatherd a group of international people at different age.

IThe main added value brought to our organisation by BRIDGE project and our partnership is this general attitude of being not only open but also - focused more on the intergenerational as well as intercultural and internatonal dialogue and, as being now more aware (because of the BRIDGE project) about the needs and specificity of this area. This change is visible not only in our organisation - its members, activities ect. but also - it's emphesised by our new graphic identyfication (in attachment you will see our previous logo and our visual identity which now we are communicating through visual products (Facebook, roll-up but soon also website, business cards ect.) so as you can see, this change is not only "felt" but also "seen".
