Summary: The project aims at connecting the third generation (parents and grandparents) and the first generation (children and grandchildren).
Description: Such a project is considered as a model of mutual friendly relations between both generations. The first generation’s role is to introduce and teach the third generation computer and Internet skills, while the third generation shares their life experiences thus preparing together a chapter of the grandparents’ lives using computer skills. Such collaboration between the youth and the elderly will contribute to eliminate the stereotypes which each party has formed for the other. The youth will have the chance to get to know the elderly individually rather than as a group of older generation, and the elderly will have the chance to learn about and appreciate the youth’s capabilities of contributing and teaching. • The youth will have the chance to feel satisfied and fulfilled as they teach the elderly and achieve their goals of teaching them in addition to proving that not only the old people can teach the young but also vice versa. • It's also a good way to save heritage and to keep it from one generation to another using Multimedia(recording traditional songs, sayings, dance, cooking traditional food,etc) . • To communicate old people with their sons and other relatives who live out of the country through (emails,skype ….)
