| Summary: | Intergenerational learning (IA) is essential to the development of people and societies. Higher education is one of the main contexts in which IA projects have emerged, facilitating the access of older people to new socio-educational opportunities and socialization with younger people. This article aims to present the result of a research study that involved, during 1 semester, the students of the 60+ Program and the undergraduate students in Social Education in the planning and promotion of socio-cultural activities, in articulation with the outside community. From the analysis of two questionnaires answered by the undergraduate students, it is concluded that the development of these activities was very important for their academic education and to change their perceptions of the seniors, starting to give more value to their role in the society. |
