Programme: Comenius Multilateral Projects Deadline: 2nd February 2012 Contact Name: Jan Ulvforsen person: Title/profession: Development manager for the Department of Education E‐mail: [email protected] Telephone: +46 590 61549 Address: Filipstads kommun, Box 303, 682 27 Filipstad, Sweden Website: www.filipstad.se Organisation: The Municipality of Filipstad Filipstad is a municipality situated in the south‐west part of Sweden. 10.500 inhabitants live in a peripheral area of 1545 km² and 6000 of them in urban areas. The food industry and engineering are the most important sectors. Filipstad has two universities, one for Mining and Civil Engineering/Metallurgy and Material Technology, and one for Forest Technician Education.
The Department of Education is responsible for preschool and compulsory school, upper‐secondary school and adult education. Project idea: The Department of Education in the Municipality of Filipstad is pleased to communicate you their interest in participating as a project partner in a proposal within a Comenius Multilateral Project. Filipstad is particularly interested in a proposal which has the objective to develop new methods for using computers/ICT as pedagogical tools in primary and secondary schools.
Filipstad would like to improve students’ opportunities to use the computer as an educational tool and are today providing one computer to each student from grade 6 (students aged 12 years and up) and also one computer to each teacher. However, it is not enough to only provide computers, when lacking innovative methods to use them for education purposes. Filipstad Municipality would therefore like to participate in a project that provides tools for and train teachers in how to best utilise innovative ICT‐based pedagogical methods. As the ICT maturity in Sweden is quite high among students and teachers, Filipstad would be a suitable partner for such a project.
There is a growing interest in Sweden in the development of ICT as an integrated tool in education, hence, to develop and test new pedagogical methods in the learning environment is a great priority for Filipstad.
Please contact us if your organisation is looking to submit a project proposal as lead partner, and if you are looking for additional partners for the proposal.

Please describe your organization (target group, activities, etc.): The history of the town is connected with the aristocratic Radvila (RADZIWILL) family, which kept house in Birzai from the beginning of the 16th century to 1811. K. Radvila built a castle in Birzai in 1589. In 1575 the Apasčia and Agluona Rivers were dammed up, Lake Sirvena was formed. This lake, about 400 years old, is the oldest artificial lake in Lithuania.
The land of Biržai has a high gypsum content and numerous underground rivers, caves and caverns. As a result, the land of Birzai is dotted with over 2000 sink holes which appear when the ground caves in. They range in size from small holes to craters big enough to swallow a house. Some are dry while others are filled with water from underground sources.
After Lithuania regained independence in 1990, Birzai district municipality was formed. Now it

Please describe your project idea (project theme, place, partners, etc.) 2012 year is announced as a Year of Active Aging and Solidarity among Generations. At the same time the idea of volunteering is also one of the priorities. Considering this Birzai district municipality prepares the project including 2 age groups: elderly people and youth. In Birzai there are quit a lot of organizations uniting elderly people. The Third Age University and the Association of Elderly People are the biggest ones. They are already performing some volunteer actions and are really willing to meet other elderly people from other countries, discuss the way elderly people organizations act abroad, what are their priorities, work methods and establish personal relations among the elderly persons from other countries for the future cooperation. Young people are very active in Birzai as well. Thought Birzai has only few formal youth organizations, strong informal youth works a lot under the supervision of Youth work coordinator who is the part of Municipality administration staff. The main idea of the project is: older people have lot of knowledge, they are like an experts and live witnesses of the history of their towns. On the other hand, young people are excellent in using modern technologies and they feel free in virtual life of nowadays. So why not to try to unite these 2 things? Modern technologies + history?
Activities: We ask young people to introduce older ones with modern technologies, especially film cameras and the ways digital record can be edited to make a film. After such lessons seniors would be asked to make movies about the way they remember, see and understand the history of their town, what they think is the most important and valuable, that their generations wants to say to those who will live after them. Of course young people will remain as consultants in this work. On the final event all films will be presented and the DVD with all of them will be produced.
Elderly people are familiar with traditional crafts and national cuisine. During the visits elderly people will share their knowledge with young people.
Target groups and partners: Elderly people (60+), young people (16-29) and project coordinators in all partner countries
When do you want to do the project?
The application will be submitted by Birzai district municipality by 1st February 2012. Project duration: September 2012 – August 2014

Programme: Leonardo da Vinci Preparatory visit and Mobility project Contact Name: Maria Björkman person: Title/profession: Quality development officer, Research and development, Geriatric Care, City of Boras E‐mail: [email protected] Please also send a copy to [email protected] Telephone: +46 33 358 698 Address: City of Boras, SDF Oster, 501 80 Boras Organisation: Borås is a municipality of approx. 103 000 inhabitants in the western part of Sweden. As the second largest municipality in western Sweden, Borås offers a rich choice of public services, trade and commerce, cultural events, recreation and education, as well as a highly specialized labour market. Proximity to both Gothenburg and Landvetter International Airport is a major asset.
Borås and its surroundings is the textile and fashion center of Sweden. The manufacturing industry was an important part of the city up until the 1970ies. The increased need for labour during the fifties and sixties resulted in labour immigration. Today this has an impact on the city services and especially on the elderly care.
Borås, like all municipalities in Sweden, has the responsibility to provide elderly care services to all inhabitants. The City of Borås is divided into three administrative city districts. The City District East (Öster) has responsibility for the elderly care in the overall city perspective, but all city districts provide their inhabitants with the service.
Project idea: Sweden has, since January 2011 introduced a set of values in the Social Services Act. This implies increased user involvement with regards to dignity and well‐being issues. Elderly care in Borås Municipality aims to improve treatment/reception of patients with respect to their dignity. We want to develop our work with treatment/reception issues in an international perspective and are therefore looking for a partner municipality that has the same interest and has experience in this area.
The Research and development department for Geriatric Care in Borås has a mandate from the Municipality board to implement the National Value System, which is a new aspect within the Social Services Act. Our focus is to increase the knowledge and awareness concerning Dignity, Wellbeing, Dignified treatment and User Influence /Participation.
Between 2006 – 2008, Borås was granted national funding to train the staff within all areas of elderly care in ethic values. This has improved the awareness of these issues and Borås is now keen to develop this further. The new national legislation has encouraged a greater focus on these issues.
Through staff exchanges between elderly care personnel with other municipalities in Europe, Borås aims to raise awareness and knowledge to create the conditions for the development of elderly care in the fields of treatment/reception of patients, dignity issues and increased user involvement.
In the first instance, the City of Borås wishes to carry out a preparatory visit (deadline 15th of November), in order to develop the project proposal and make a full application for a Leonardo da Vinci mobility project in February 2012 (deadline 3 February 2012).
Borås would be very grateful if you could consider the proposal, and if you would be able to give an answer about participation as soon as possible and before 8 November to take part in the preparatory action and 30 November for the mobility project.
