Conocer para aprender y aprender para vivir

Abstract

This project starts from the problem that is evidenced by the lack of communicative spaces to promote intergenerational interaction between the boys and girls of the Sueños y Alegrías foundation and the older adults of the Por Amor a Jesús foundation, which generates various Conflicts between them, so negative aspects such as intolerance, disrespect and lack of patience and understanding towards the other, make the environment in the foundation become heavy and divisions are generated to avoid communication between them. However, despite the mutual imaginary that each other has, it seeks to create communicative spaces for children and older adults to share through activities and games, lived experiences and in this way it is possible to resinify the erroneous perception that they have among themselves, managing to appease the conflicts and resentments that boys and girls somehow have towards older adults and vice versa. Likewise, it seeks to contribute through activities, recreational activities and others to promoting spaces for intergenerational exchange, so that older adults feel useful and children respect, know and understand the reality and life history of older adults, improving the relationship between them. It is important to create this type of space where both children and older adults have the possibility to share not only the space but also experiences, knowledge and skills that can be useful for their life history and can be used for personal growth. thereof.
