TRACEUS seeks to develop and curate a database of recipes, cuisines and traditions (storytelling/singing/dancing) associated with European cuisines using mobile technology as a learning tool.
The project objectives are to:
•Improve and expand (digital) learning opportunities for older adults with Internet skills by enriching the learning offers with new contents and topics.
•Enable older people to create their own multimedia enriched learning offers.
•To guarantee a high quality of learning materials, older people and migrants will be trained in an online course.
•Facilitate access to learning opportunities through internet-based offerings.
•Promote interregional and European networking and cooperation. -
TRACEUS is an Erasmus+ KA2 that will operate as a living laboratory of social and technological activities promoting knowledge on new technology skills through culinary traditions and adult-learning processes. The project will develop an array of activities and resources to empower older adults and migrants to use new technologies to become authors and moviemakers and share their experiences with their peers and society.
To that end, the project’s implementing team will produce and make available new and innovative curricula, open educational resources in the form of small online videos created by older people and migrants, and innovative educational methods and training courses for older people and migrants. It will support social integration through said tools, involving adult citizens, migrants, and refugees as protagonists sharing and promoting their identity and culture. Ultimately, it will pave the way towards greater participation by older people and migrants for mutual learning and promote knowledge and appreciation of tradition and achieve a fruitful relationship across the generations and communities.

The project will illustrate and provide an accessible model which builds on harnessing inclusive technology learning for citizens at risk of being “e- excluded” in the traditional sense and ensure that their culinary customs and traditions (storytelling, music, dancing) are recorded and curated in an accessible way. It will thus use mobile technology as a learning tool as well as a resource for lifelong learning that can also facilitate intergenerational communication.
