The PALIMPSEST Team presented the project to Primary and Secondary School teachers on Saturday, the 30th of March. The event was organized in order to familiarize the schools with the PALIMPSEST Project and at the same time start a fruitful collaboration. By constructing a strong foundation of cooperation and communication between the project’s team and the teachers, we aim to better understanding of the project and its goals, so that teachers will be able to efficiently help students through the process of story-collecting, as crowdsourcing and oral history is a major part of PALIMPSEST.

The process of collecting the stories is based on crowdsourcing and participation of the local community. For this purpose, various workshops in schools are to be organized in order to achieve the collaboration and also the mediation of a younger audience, which will seek stories about the city from the older members of their family. This transgenerational crowdsourcing is vital for the implementation and dissemination of the project.
