A meeting “Intergenerational Learning” was organized on 4th April, 2016 in the Center of Old People in Ruse. There were 24 participants – people from the Center, students from the course Social Pedagogy, University of Ruse, who are also members of the Club Young Educator/ Social Educator, and the leader of the club Pr. Assist. Prof. Dr Bagryana Ilieva. The young educators made a presentation on the role of the bread in our life. Nice songs were presented by the elderly people. The students and many old people were trained to make a bread by hands (not with a machine). The trainers wеre 2 representatives of the Center and 1 student. The participants were very satisfied.
The project “Tastes of Danube” is supported by the Staatsministerium (State Ministry) of Baden-Wьrttemberg, the Baden-Wьrttemberg Stiftung (Foundation) , the Ulmer Bürger Stiftung, the Sparkassen Stifung and others and by a lot of Danube-Networkers working as volonteers. The main coordinator is Carmen Stadelhofer, President of ILEU e.V. and DANET e.V:, she does this work as volunteer.
In the project we have a small amount of money but a big network potential., and a very good possibility to make as known as Danube-Networkers on regional, national and international level by Ministries of Agriculture, politicians, firms, stakeholders .And we can involve a lot of people of all ages to take part and to feel this spirit of “Danube-Networkers”. With this project we want to bring people along the Danube together to get to know each other, and gain motivation for organizations for a joint work and cooperation and look together for projects funded by the European Commission or others.
The project language is English. In each county there is a coordinator for this project to whom you can write and ask in your language. Since a few days we have a small financial sum at our disposition to give to some active partners for coordination and events to widespread these ideas. If you are interested to make such a special event don’t hesitate to contact us until the 20th of April. to info@tastes-of-danube.eu. Explain your idea, show what you will bring in by your own organization or in cooperation with other organizations and what kind of help you need for what. And we will see what we can do. But have in mind that we can only support you with a small financial sum (100 to 500 Euro) and we aspect that you look to find local or national cooperation partners and sponsors as Ministry of Agriculture, firms etc. Supporting partners will be named on the Website.
