In our society the number of older people is increasing, but it is also increasing the gap between generations, with the risk to lose the familiar and local memories. The project aims to develop an innovative methodology finalized to the transmission of memory from the elderly to adults and young adults, to achieve the following main objectives: - Getting elders actively involved in their community and value their knowledge and experience - Minimizing the risk of oblivion of a range of values and knowledge - Reducing inter-generational gap - Promoting local identity, sense of belonging and to reinforce the social memory and the community cohesion.This project is focused on intergenerational learning characterized by mutuality: the direct beneficiaries of this methodology are both the seniors aged 65 years and older, and the adults and young adults from 20 to 64 years old.The final beneficiaries are not only individuals but also the community, at local, national and European level.We think that rediscovering memories is facilitated in an intergenerational learning context oriented to valorise memories that are in the risk of being lost and life experiences, that no one is treasuring, as a capital of knowledge that each community should benefit of, with long-lasting consequences for the social cohesion.Starting from the individual memory, this methodology contributes to recover a social memory, helping to trace a continuity that, from the past, comes up to the present day. To build and to share the social memory related to a period of time or to specific community aspects is a way of transmitting knowledge, attitudes and skills from the elders to the new generations. The SEM.BET methodology delivers indications also for gathering local memories aimed at constructing, maintaining and strengthening identities of different groups. In fact, one of the results of this methodology is to narrate the memories into a visible and sustainable format - “micro-monuments of life” - to share it with the rest of the local community in order to build up local identities and strengthen local and civil society.Led by Futura (IT), a Public Company for Vocational Training and Local Community Development, the partnership is made up of organizations from different educational fields: a research institution working on the historical memory (ES), a university (PL), a pedagogic research institute in the field of adult and continuing education (RO), a library (SI). Their different perspectives on memory and history have contributed to broaden the perspective and impact of project results.Starting from the analysis of the context and the collection of good practices, the partnership has elaborated the methodology draft and tested it in very different contexts, through a work in two phases: intergenerational group activities (for recovery and preservation of memory), creation and dissemination of “micro-monuments of life” (for transmission and memory sharing with the community).All the created micro-monuments, together with the collected memories (different materials -texts, photos, videos, ...- even in raw form, not processed, as well as collected), were included in the data-base of memories, created in the project site. On the basis of pilot activities and the assessment of the experience the final methodology was defined and disseminated through a user manual, and a booklet with the summary of the project results, useful for the exploitation of the results achieved and for all the organizations interested in saving memories, working with elderly people and in an inter-generational context, strengthening a social identity and a sense of belonging to a community.All the final products, further information and contacts are available online, at: http://sembet.eu/.
