This partner meeting was our final F2F partner meeting in our project. We met in Evora from 19 to 20 September 2024. It was an opportunity for all the project partners to analyse and review the activities completed so far. The intergenerational workshops that have been carried out so far were discussed. All project partners agree that the workshops carried out so far had been successful and have brought something new and good to their organisations.

We aslo discussed all the necessary task to complete before the end of our project at the beginning of next year.

We learned about the adult education system in Portugal. We also learned what activites adult learners enjoy most at Universidade Sénior de Évora. They organise history classes for their seniors and some of them had been attending these classes for almost 10 years. Seniors can participate in a variety of activites: drama, languages, philosophy, art, history, chess, etc.

Project partners visited FRAJAL – Federation of Youth Associations of Alentejo. We learned about the organisation of work of this association and the issues that the young face nowadays. They had recently redecorated and restored their space and now provide numerous activities for young, as well as a safe space and different kinds of support for the young. The importance of establishing and maintaining good connections with the older generation was stressed and it was pointed out that this was something that needed to worked on constantly and consistently.

We walked through the streets of Evora listening to the stories about important events and people of Evora. We learned about the rich and colourful history of this ancient city. We learned about the traditions and cultural heritage. We also visited the Evora public library which is one of the oldest and richest libraries in Portugal.

It was really nice to see all the project partners again in Portugal.
