Hello from Sunny Blackpool! My name is Andrea Howard and I am really looking forward to attending the Intergenerational training in Porto. I currently run a project called Echoes of the Past which is a project involving children from a local school taking part in interviewing the older residents of Blackpool about their own childhood memories.
Blckpool is a seaside resort with a large transient population and lots of social problems. We are hoping to improve peoples perceptions of community and belonging and develop a deeper understanding of the generations.
I also am on holiday until September 2nd but will be checking the blog when I can. I look forward to meeting you soon! Andrea
