La dimensione formativa e generativa dello scambio intergenerazionale

Abstract

This research, which is quantitative and qualitative in nature, belongs to the field of Educational Sciences and explores the effects of intergenerational experiences on adolescents and older adults.
Taking into consideration the “state of the art” of researches on intergenerational practices, policies, programmes and initiatives in Europe and Worldwide, an experiment of intergenerational
relationship has been accomplished by adopting narration as an hermeneutical, epistemical and relational approach.
Such an experiment, which can be applied to different contexts, has modified a lot of stereotypes on aging shown by the two hundred participants, moreover it has developed educational and generative potential of older adults and relational skills of both age groups.
