The Meeting in Vienna was focussed on local development in disadvantaged area and the new forms of adult education emerging from local development needs. I am member of GIVE and we maintain an online community in this part of town "Ttiesterviertel" which one could call "dense outskirt". The problem is that peoples sense for the place and community is something that needs to be recreated from the bottom up. ====Was the encounter with MIR useful and prolific?= Yes, the event was for me so prolific, especially because the first time I actually felt a sense of a central objective of the "Dorfwiki" and GIVE received, namely a "global network of villages" being built. ====What are impacts on personal, organizational and local levels?= I have been materially and emotionally encouraged that I have the platform "MACH MIT! im Triesterviertel "and the webforum http://www.triesterviertel.at as a "Viennese Village Wiki". The dperception of the difference of this civil society initiative to similar processes and facilities of the City of Vienna, like the "Bassena am Schöpfwerk" (that was also present at the time), could be perceived better - a paradox local effect of this glkobal visit. Encouraged, I also felt by the positive reactions to the reported target for me especially on the group of children and young people to concentrate. If we really engage in adult education for local development, we must engage in intergenerational education. That was an imortant result of the project.
