Connected in diversity: New strategies for intergenerational cooperation

The case study presents intergenerational connections through the exchange of kno­wledge and skills. The FACE project was selected as an example, wherein, without fi­nancial compensation, intergenerational learning and connections are innovatively pro­moted within the local environment of a neighbourhood in Ljubljana. The FACE project employs online intergenerational connections to facilitate knowledge exchange and pro­motes mutual learning, where both younger and older generations guide the learning process and create a space for transformative learning through dialogue. According to the participants, all the parties involved benefited from intergenerational collaboration, which increased the feeling of satisfaction, reduced stereotypes of older people as pas­sive, and increased empathy.
