This afternoon a student in Dar es Salaam 'spoke' to a professor in Ukraine. It is very early days but using FB I am trying to establish a global network based on intergenerational learning.

Are you using Skype, Valerie? - I think it is very good to establish these global networks. Hope many other people of Wales will be doing the same! I had not heard of these networks. Tell us how it is going!! Hwyl fawr, Annette

Hello Valerie

Dear Annette - I do use skype but don't turn it on except to use it. So we have to set a time & date. Can't be doing with people interuption me when I am working on something else. Valwoodgaiger@aol.com

I think is is amazing that these networks are setting up - I am not doing it. I suggested it in a couple of speeches & it is happening! Not surprised you have not heard of them they are a new phenomena!

Will try to remember to post when new ones happen but I too am just fining my way round this site & really I am a Facebook girl! Don't have time for too many networks.  

More Learn with Grandma groups are coming - Excellent news - Learn with Grandma has been approved for both of the Grundtvig EU Adult learning projects we applied for. Amazing! We will be introducing Learn with Grandma into 10 European countries with 14 partners. Partners in Italy; France; Poland: Spain; Romania & Turkey are obliged to set one up - I wrote in in the bid! - & I will enccourage parters in the other project to do likewise. We can end up with a global networ of people who are interested in closing the digital devide & intergenerational learning - AT NO COST!!!

Wales is coming too. The Mayor of Whitland is hosting a seminar on 21 September. If you sen me an email I will send you the agenda.   

 

 Dear Rhianne

Not much chance in Swansea at the moment - but after Whitland - who knows. As to the Gower - over to you. Set up a meeting & I will come down. Will send you invite to Whitland.
