Intergenerational Learning and creative experiences to foster reciprocity between generations

Abstract

The creation of intergenerational learning experiences pathways can generate knowledge if it takes place within the ambit of a relationship of reciprocity. In a context that is non-self-referential, the elderly and adolescents may be formed through creative experiences to search for an authentic communication, to foster intergenerational reciprocity, in an ever-changing reality, dominated by individualism and competitiveness.
The article underlines the necessity for the Educational system to be rethought in a more creative way, on the basis of the results of research of a relational approach as well as on the awareness of the interdependence between generations.
