Major keyword in this Grundtvig project is inter-generational solidarity
between older and younger generations. The overall objective of ”People and
Places" is to focus on creating a bridge between older people as mentors
of young people using art activities as a major tool of achievement. During the
project, people from different generations will be working side by side in
non-formal learning activities and come together in series of meetings hosted
by each of the partner organizations.
Communication tools will be a range of art-forms such as photography, painting, drama, video and dance to create exhibitions which showcases each of the host cities. By doing so partner organizations will work alongside other adults, they will develop a greater sense of European cooperation and share experience and good practice in a way that develops their own knowledge and competence.

Besides the art activities, project partners will develop a preparatory
questionnaire defining the informal and non-formal educational needs of today's
youth and it will be examined by older generations participants as mentors who
will define a programme with them. Questionnaires will be applied during all
the phases of mentoring for the implementation of the project and the results will be evaluated by partner
organizations.
”People and Places” will enhance the transnational cooperation among
informal and non-formal adult learning associations in partners’ countries,
promoting the exchange of knowledge, experience and best practices both through
international meetings and a constant communication with the help of ICT.
Important issue is the dialogue between generations, with inter-generational
solidarity as the final outcome. Participating countries are : Estonia, Italy, Lithuania,The Netherlands, Romania, Spain and Turkey.
People and Places is sponsored by the European Comission in the frame of LifeLong learning programme Grundtvig. Grundtvig's range of adult education opportunities are not about work related skills and qualifications. They are about learning for living and enjoyment; the kinds of learning that often go unrecognized. Grundtvig helps to raise people's life, knowledge and competences. This not only has a positive impact on the communities they live or work in, but also encourages a more accepting and inclusive society. Grundtvig also puts adult education staff in touch with each other. Staff, volunteers, and trainers can spend time seeing how colleagues across Europe approach things differently - for example, by forming partnerships, undertaking job shadowing, or attending courses and conferences abroad.
