Impact
Being together at the walk through the city
and sharing different points of view about it
was a very happy moment of the activity.
Students enjoy as well having a portrait of
themselves by a professional photographer.
Most of them didn´t have ear about QR Codes
and were very excited to show to their
families how to do it/them.
The theater play was also a success and a
very special moment for the students and
their families.
Lessons learned
The goal of the exhibition was not entirely
perceived and the result wasn’t the one that
we expected (most of the ladies chose the
same garden to take the portrait near a
flower..).

A more detailed explanation is needed about
the goals to be achieved by the activity and
some examples must be presented as well.

ABOUT MEDIASCAPES PROJECT
MEDIASCAPES aims at exploring various relationships among types of
space, media, and people, approaching such findings from a media
literacy perspective, by drawing inferences to be used in non-formal
and informal learning of adults, especially and foremost in family
settings. The Partnership intends to address issues related to the
convergence and divergence among ‘classic’ and digital cultural
forms by:
a) exploring a series of social and cultural practices involving
the use of media in the family, as reconfigured by new
cultural forms generated by digital technologies;
b) exploring relationships among space, people, and media in
urban settings, including cases of accommodation or conflict
between physical space and cyberspace;
c) drawing out implications of findings in terms of guidelines
for trainers involved in inter-generational and family
learning, and generating a collection of case studies and
best/good practices, assembled on an online resource center.
The project was held between 1st
. August 2011 and 31th. July 2013,
with the following partners:
Asociatia Epsilon III - Bucharest - RO (Coordinator)
Asociatia Grouw up Project - Focsani - RO (Partner)
Associação SERPENTINA - Lisbon - PT (Partner)
