UNIEDA - Unione Italiana di Educazione degli Adulti

Representative member of the Italian Third Sector and national umbrella organisation of 65 Italian Adult Education Organisations, UNIEDA represents a national point of reference and a new educational platform for the development of an inter-generational pedagogy addressed to different generations and cultures in the name of common educational needs. Moreover, as research and experimentation centre for educational activities and methodologies, it is particularly active in the promotion and dissemination of autobiographical and biographical narrative methodologies as specific educational strategy based on telling the adult learners stories, who have thus the possibility to learn each other in terms of mutual exchange of experiences. Actively involved in the implementation and dissemination of various Grundtvig projects at national and transnational level, UNIEDA has recently elaborated a bill on Lifelong Learning, which is strategic for the achievement of Lisbon objectives and aims within 2010.

ADN - Fondazione Archivio Diaristico Nazionale

Foundation ADN where are gathers up autobiographic writings written by common people: diaries, letters, memories of one’s own existence which show everybody’s life and also Italian history. The Archives don’t only keep, like a museums, popular writings, but they also improve their richness in different ways. We defined The Archives “The bank of memory”. Now, we call them “nursery”, because the Archives make the past writings revive, as sprouts which spring up in every season. So, new interests in autobiographic writings continuously rise. Firstly, we introduced a prize to increase the number of the texts. The annual demonstration “Memories in town” takes place at the beginning of September. In 1998 the Foundation became an Onlus (a charity) and the Region added the Foundation to the list of the most important institutions in Tuscany and on the 16th July 1999 the archival superintendent of Tuscany conferred to the Foundation the status of Archive of considerable historic importance.
