The project goal was to overcome the social isolation of the elderly people living in the village of Stambolovo through creating conditions for their social inclusion in the inter-generation dialogue. The idea was to improve the social environment and to encourage various forms of cultural dialogue and creativity.

In the newly renovated and furnished premise of the Chitalishte "Tradition " Club was established, where people from different generations meet and socialise. The technical equipment allows the provision of daily information services like internet search, filling out documents, etc.Various lectures and speeches by specialists on subjects interesting for the people living in the village take place on regular basis. The club is visited on daily basis by retired people, school children and young people. The elderly people share with the children their skills and knowledge on folklore, knitting, cooking, etc. This proves to be a suitable form of occupying the free time with interesting and various activities for both age groups. In the end of the year an exhibition will be organised as well as a concert of the local folklore group.
