Abstract(s)
The issue of intergenerational relationships has been gaining greater and greater relevance within the present national and international contexts. The same is happening at academic/scientific and social levels, bringing up huge challenges to communication and solidarity between the different generations and to the social, educational and health policies for the 21st Century. In the discussions on intergenerationality its relevance stands out, namely in terms of: the conveyance of individual, family and collective memories, and conveyance of values, and in the construction of new individual and group identities and trajectories; the education, communication and well-being of the younger and older generations, for instance of grandparents and grandsons, and in the development of new relationships and forms of intergenerational solidarity within the family and within society at large; the promoting of active aging, health and quality of life for individuals, families and communities; intergenerational social and educational projects aimed at the inclusion and empowerment of older generations, lesser stereotypes and prejudice based on age, the promotion of dialogue and socialization between generations, as well as the construction of a society for all ages, where different generations may contribute towards a culture of solidarity, inclusiveness and citizenship.
