CARDET
20/11/23 (Ipsonas C’ Primary School, Limassol, Cyprus – Educational Institution prioritising on Intergenerational Learning and Solidarity)
The Info & Networking event (Multiplier Event) in Cyprus, took place at an Educational Institution in Limassol, which is specialising on Intergenerational Learning and Solidarity in the content of innovative educational initiatives. It was an honour for BONDING project to be hosted in a thematic-area related environment and an honour for CARDET to be collaborating with this new educational setting, thanks to BONDING project and the BONDING Multiplier event.
The event, which was attended by 30 participants, was successful process- and outcomes-wise. It all started with participants’ registration, who, though they did not give their consent for videotaping or audiotaping, they welcomed photos taking throughout the event. CARDET facilitator welcomed everybody at the event, thanked the Director for their hospitality and invited the participants to present themselves by sharing their name, organisation, and their favourite intergenerational activity. The latter was an ice-breaker, which attempted to make participants comfortable with each other and the facilitator.

Fundación INTRAS
21/12/23 (Valladolid, Spain)
The event took place in a high education centre based in Valladolid that provides programs in Compulsory Secondary Education, typically attended by students aged 12 to 16, and Upper Secondary School, catering to students aged 16 to 18. Additionally, it offers vocational training in Social Integration, Early Childhood Education and Promotion of Equality, accommodating various age groups. We found it pertinent to engage with this specific demographic—students over 18 and professors—given the nature of this project aimed at youth. Notably, students will benefit from the results of the project, while those trained in Social Integration will also be able to take advantage of these resources for their future professional endeavors.
