LEARNING IN THE FAMILY

BENEFITS BOTH ADULTS AND

CHILDREN

school may transfer their knowledge to

their parents while older people are a

valuable potential that needs to be

mobilised and better valorized…

INTERGENERATIONAL LEARNING (IL) IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF LIFELONG LEARNING, WHERE THE GENERATIONS WORK TOGETHER TO GAIN SKILLS, VALUES AND KNOWLEDGE.

THE AIM OF THE GRUNDTVIG

PROJECT COORDINATED BY

BENEDETTA MIRACOLA AIMS

AT IMPROVING THE LIFE

QUALITY FOR FAMILIES AND

PROMOTING A BETTER SOCIAL

COHESION AND

INTERGENERATIONAL SOLIDARITY

IN A LEARNING PROCESS, WE ARE PROVIDING GUIDANCE TO ACQUIRE BASIC SKILLS IN COMMUNICATION AND COOPERATION, ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP, COUNSELLING SKILLS AS BASIS FOR IMPROVING FAMILY HEALTHY LIFE.

So we are promoting Skills for Life to parents and grandparents, methods for developing the individual’s ability to search for information and to develop knowledge actively and independently.

WE AIMED AT TRANSFORMING THE EDUCATIONAL RELATIONSHIP SUPPORTING AND MOTIVATING FAMILIES AND TRAINERS WITH PATHWAYS TO IMPROVE THEIR KNOWLEDGE BY MEANS OF FAMILY LEARNING: ADULTS ARE NOT ONLY CAREGIVERS, BUT ALSO EDUCATORS, WHOSE ACTIONS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT THE SCHOOLING SYSTEM AS WELL AS FUTURE LIFE, AND THE LIFELONG LEARNING DECISIONS OF GROWING CHILDREN BEING A MEANS FOR ACHIEVING SOCIO-CULTURAL INCLUSION AND PREVENTING STUDENTS FROM DROPPING OUT OF EDUCATION.

THIS ISN’T A TEACHER OR EDUCATORS ROLE….

THE CORRECT ROLE IS HELPING FAMILIES TO REFLECT ON WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNED AND ACHIEVED BY TAKING PART TO THE WORKSHOPS WE MANAGED TO HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF STIMULATING THEIR CHILDREN’S LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT, MOTIVATING PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS TO ENGAGE WITH FURTHER LEARNING ACTIVITIES

THE SIMPLE IMPORTANT ROLE OF EACH PERSON…

THE UNCORRECT KNOWLEDGE MAKE ERRORS…

REMEMBER US… OUR HEAD ISN’T A CONTAINER…

WHAT’S REALLY LIFELONG LEARNING MEANING

School actions have tried to consolidate and

coordinate student and learning supports working on

school prevention and intervention programs,

connecting families to schools and school activities

with the use of community resources, fostering more

meetings between parents and teachers and

involving families in simple homework projects.

We are strongly convinced that learning

supports means trying to help

everybody understand that we don't

think about students’ social and

emotional needs as something you take

care of after you address their

academic achievement.

If we don't address their social and emotional

needs as part of their whole school experience,

we will never get the degree of academic

achievement that our nation is seeking through

school reform.
