Erasmus+ Ka210-ADU
Local Discovery
Developing solutions for geographically excluded areas and the social activation of people from local communities
About
Local Discovery is a 24-month Erasmus+ KA210 partnership between Poland’s Forum of Regional Tourism Organisations and Cyprus’s DOREA, tackling geographic exclusion in peripheral regions. The project develops practical tools to activate adults aged 50+ and help local communities rediscover the cultural, historical and natural value of where they live.
Two main outputs are being created: a multimedia activation training cycle and a set of creative workshop scenarios using storytelling methods.
Objectives
The aim of the project is to create tools to support:
1- development of awareness among local communities and entities related to the unused potential of areas located peripherally in relation to regions considered attractive;
2- promotion and development of cultural, historical and local values related to local products in geographically excluded areas;
3- support for social activation of local communities, especially people aged 50+.
Activities
Activities undertaken in the project will be related to the creation and dissemination of the results of intellectual work:
– development of a CYCLE OF ACTIVATION AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING in a multimedia form;
– developing a method of designing CREATIVE WORKSHOPS SCENARIOS for people aged 50+;
– organization of 5 partner project meetings;
– organization of 2 dissemination conferences;
– making the results available on the partners’ websites.
Impact
The expected results of the project are:
– creation of a CYCLE OF ACTIVATION AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING in a multimedia form to be carried out stationary and in the on-line formula;
– creation of a method of designing CREATIVE WORKSHOPS SCENARIOS for people aged 50+ (mini e-book with adescription of the method and 6 ready-made workshop scenarios);
