In PUENTE our role as researchers is not limited to the mere observation of phenomena, our field work activity aimed at intervening upon and re-orienting InterGenerational Learning (IGL) activities. In the framework of a case study methodology, we have worked in close collaboration with the educational practitioners and the end-users in 6 fieldwork sites of informal and formal learning to analyse their current practice and elaborate ways to enhance them through the use of ICT and propose new scenarios for intergenerational learning.
Puente Local Case Studies Centre for European Research: Intergenerational Learning and the Spirit of a Place Futurelab: Create a Sense of Place Through ICT We actively involved end-users and organizers of the activities as stakeholders in the different phases of the design process of IGL scenarios. The co-design sessions aimed at contributing to elicit the dimensions and the key features of intergenerational learning activities, to highlight the potential for ICT to support these activities and to come up with design principles for ICT to be seamlessly introduced as a support of meaningful learning and rewarding experiences for people of different generations.
