The project was presented to us as a challenge to overcome and ended up being one of the most special experiences we have lived so far.
During the 2015-2016 academic year, from the Speaker, we have intervened in about twenty schools throughout Catalonia. The projects that are framed within the framework of formal education have as added difficulty the adaptation to the routines of each center. The difficulty, which most times is synonymous with overcoming and learning, is balanced by the facilities that many schools offer us. Schools committed to involvement, passion and educational transformation emanate a magic that is contagious during the workshops and sessions of elParlante. This magic was present in the project “Compartint Experiències”, designed by the Directorate of Services to People and the Territory (District of Les Corts) and energized by the Parlante and the school itself.
The objective of this experience was to create a meeting point between 3rd ESO students and some of their grandparents. Both groups (young and old) exchanged knowledge and experiences, using new technologies as a driving force. During the sessions, aspects such as Google Maps, human relationships, traditional and online games as well as photography were worked on.
The ternura of the students, the involvement of the teachers and the experience of grandparents created an atmosphere of complicity inside and outside the classroom. The protagonists created their own dynamics that resulted in an alternative learning process, based on Educommunication.
One of the objectives of the project was to improve relations between both generations. The documentary shows that the expectations of the organizers and participants were exceeded. The video shows a compilation of testimonies and a summary of the workshop.
