AbstractThe idea of this paper originated during the Memory Line Project. The Memory Line Project is based on the conviction that a very important point is the promotion of inter and intra generational exchanges; to take advantage of human and social capital in order to keep the memory line of knowledge alive, exchange of information, social support and personal empowerment; while avoiding forms of isolation. The Memory Line Project “aims at training groups of elderly and young citizens resident in the project's partner countries to collect records (stories, songs, poems, experiences, etc.) in order to ensure their conservation and dissemination with a view to creating a model of cooperation and inter-regional and intergenerational learning based on memory and communication and to promote innovative experiences within the area of lifelong training.”. In this paper we will present in detail the results of the focus group realised in Italy during the Memory Line Project.
