The idea of this paper originated during the Socrates Grundtvig Project “The Memory Line: an intergenerational course of learning and communication”. The Memory Line Project is based on the conviction that the promotion of intergenerational exchanges is extremely important because it takes advantage of human and social capital and keeps the memory line of knowledge alive. With the exchange of information, social support and personal empowerment forms of isolation are avoided. The Memory Line Project “aims at training groups of elderly and young citizens resident in the project’s partner c o u n t r i e s t o c o l l e c t r e c o r d s ( s t o r i e s , s o n g s , p o e m s , e x p e r i e n c e s , t r a d e s , e t c . ) i n o r d e r t o e n s u r e t h e i r c o n s e r v a t i o n a n d dissemination with a view to creating a model of cooperation and inter-regional and intergenerational learning (among European regions) based on memory and communication and promote innovative experiences within the area of lifelong training.”. In this paper we present the results of the focus group realised in Italy during the Memory Line Project.
