1st Meeting - Poland
From 30th
September till 03rd October we took part in the first international meeting in our
project. We met in Krakow in Poland to plan our work in the project.
During next
days we plan in details our activities in the project and decide how to share
tasks and responsibilities We discussed about local activities and the way in which
we would like to work with our students and teachers. We decide what will be the next step in the
project – we will be working on private methods and hidden knowledge about
memory.
We start
the meeting with short presentations of the partner organizations.
Then we had
a presentation about memory made by Basia and then discussed about memory models
and theories, our knowledge, opinions and stereotypes concerning memory in later
life. In the discussion support us prof. Vetulani – well know polish neuroscientist.
During
meeting we had also chance to take part in some outdoor memory activities - in
Kazimierz – Jewish District:

Aims and objectives
The Memory in Later
Life project explored many aspects of memory including personal strategies,
mnemonic techniques, and exercises involving autobiographical memories and aesthetic
experiences. It also looked at the importance of attitudes and beliefs, and
lifestyle factors such as exercise, diet, leisure activities, enjoyment and a
good social life. The latest findings from neuroscience reinforce the notion
that a range of activities are vital for older adults to maintain memory skills
and promote a healthy brain.
Many ideas from the
project can be incorporated into learning in later life programmes to increase
knowledge about memory changes over time and help older adults use their
memories well. The outcome of the project is a handbook of the most useful
activities and ideas chosen by the older adults participating in the project.
This handbook will be available on this site shortly.
The materials archived
here are a selection of documents from partner meetings - presentations,
worksheets and papers that have been produced as the project progressed. These may
be useful to teachers and trainers to supplement the handbook.
