At the meeting the main points of discussion were administrative ones, technicalities, organizing of the transnational meetings in Greece, Austria and Turkey, organizing of the 3 art workshops, the target groups and also the process of dissemination of project results.
As a finish-up of this meeting, we have all participated in the first art workshop, in the nursing home “Hotel Idila Terzieva” in Skopje. Together with the elderly, our partners and young participants of all partner countries were active in making craftwork and fabric creations (belts, purses, accessories, etc.) from textile waste, and this textile waste was also saved for the next workshops of this nature. The elderly have managed to get out of their daily routine and socialize with us all, have fun and make fabric creations, whereas the participants, besides seeing the potential in textile waste, some even learned to use a sewing machine for the first time and produce amazing pieces too. This workshop was an excellent example of inclusion between different generations – empathy and creation at the same time.
