Methodology:
The centre receives 10 elderly people who have a relevant personal history to tell. As our centre take measures to promote gender equality, there are 5 men and 5 women: Camila Kleiner, Carme Ayguavives, Mia Casellas, Pilar busquets, Pilar Valls, Joan Masaller, Josep Cano, Josep Lluís Massó, Narcís Reixach, Ponç Feliu.
Some of the speakers are part of the Project Great Experts of the Program of Elderly People of Càritas Diocesanes of Girona, and they have already worked their talks because they offer them in primary schools. Through the talks there is an interesting transfer of experiences from one generation to another. (The school also implements in the 4th year of ESO the Càritas program, “Sponsor an elderly person”).
All 3rd year students listen to the talks and, as a linguistic activity, they write about it. The best are chosen, translated into English and illustrated.
Finally, a book is published with the stories provided by all the European centres of the project. In addition, each story is accompanied by a question that can be asked to the students to see if they have understood it. In the book you can also find a comparison between the stories of all countries, where you can see the similarities that exist in the narratives of countries so far from each other.
At the same time, at different times of the project, competitions are called for students:
-
- Design of the project logo. The best in each country are chosen. Finally, the best is chosen among the participating countries.
-
- Illustrations that should accompany the stories of the book. The best are chosen for the book.
