After being able to getting to know each other in Carndonagh and the situation there, the next step in the learning partnership had to be taken in Budapest.
The main task of the meeting was to plan a Grundtvig project proposal together in which we would be able to get deeper into our work and create long-lasting results.
The most impressive aspect to it, to see the joint effort to really want to create a teaching method according to the principles of adult education for the use of the most modern aspects of radio journalism for the older generation. We agreed, for instance, on the use of digital recording and editing methods. Concepts have to be made, to be able to translate the mostly analog thinking of this generation into the new digital procedures.

Another important role of community media was shown to us by a hungarian pensioner who uses his own life history to create a history of the last 60 years in Hungary via Civil community radio. He cooperates with young people as age correspondent speakers of each historical period.
In this case we were shown again that innovative uses of media can result, when people with experience, no matter in which way, get the opportunity to get access to the media, not as objects but subjects. One step further was being made to get a clearer picture in what kind of way senior citizens could be part of the media landscape and how we have to teach them to be able to do it – it has to be based on their longlasting experiences.
