Before the next meeting began, I saw the workshops places. There is one upstairs with all the tables, chairs and tools for the classes, and there is another one downstairs, used as a warehouse. Both of them looked unfinished.
The meeting started and we found out that there was a big misunderstanding about how the intergenerational transmission process is going to be done. I wasn’t sure of what was going on and I had to talk to Bogotá to make myself clear.
We called for a meeting with the elder people in order to talk to them and make a formal invitation to the project. It’s going to be next week.
I spent the rest of the day talking to everybody in La Casa de la Cultura trying to figure out their perceptions of the old people and the relation existing between them and the youth. It’s very surprising how many people spend a lot of time in that place doing different activities: there are classes of dance, music, literature, philosophy (some of them for free or for a very low price) and people doing theater, singing, playing chess, or just sitting there reading poetry.
