about project
Project "Words connecting generations" aims to share good practices of preserving oral history among partner organisations from Czech Republic, Austria, Poland, Germany, with focus on the use of ICT(Information and Communication Technologies) tools. Project leads to developed a sustainable learning partnership between the organisations involved.
We will focus on the ways of collecting the stories of eye witnesses using different ICT tools, and on ways of sharing them with the local communities through: exhibitions, meetings, workshops, trainings, online tools and living library. We will as well explore the topics of building identity of community through the oral history and discuss different approaches to history teaching.
Project will consist of international and local activities.
International activities will be partnership meetings of representatives of organisations involved, during which the main issues connected to partnership will be discussed. During each meeting we will have workshops, discussions, presentations on above described topics, and study visits which will be tool of sharing good practices. Each partner organisation will organise one partnership meeting.
Local activities will be implemented by each partner organisation in their local community. Those will be: exhibitions, workshops and trainings on recording oral history and working with family story, educational programmes, audio guides, living libraries.
Most important project result will be learning outcomes for participants (staff) and organisations involved, connected to methods of working with oral history. We will share project experience with others through products: website of partnership with good practices, Do-It-Yourself oral history KIT and an online audio book connecting the stories from all Central European cities involved.
