The aim of this intergenerational project is to break the psychological barries among different generations to make cooperation between the groups of people of different ages easier.

 

It is based on the need for different ways of teaching, depending on the age, therefore it includes two aspects of the learning/teaching process:

 

1) An educational model that combines pedagogy with gerontology

- Create and develop in common educational tools for students and teachers with different ages.

 

2) A content that covers “universal” aspects of life

- Explore, describe and illustrate real ways of living from different generations using the same variables for each case.

- Determine topics that are not taught in schools or talked about at the media that the older adults can share with the younger generations, and what can the youth share that won't be exclusively technical.

 

The proyect includes people from different European contexts that want to learn about intergenerational topics, using lifestyles as a common point. The aim is a bigger conscience on the way Europeans of different ages and different cultural contexts live. The results of the proyect will be published in a summary of lifestyles and good practice.
