Activities to be undertaken in the project:

The workshops will refer to the so-called resourcefulness in life and transfer of knowledge to the younger generation in the following areas: a new life for old things, food preservation, saving skills and taking care of health. Elderly people as active leaders will pass on their everyday life knowledge to the younger generation;
