The project
The project seeks to promote effective practices for achieving social sustainability in communities from Spain and Cyprus. The project’s intention is to endorse intergenerational dialogue and intangible heritage as effective practices for building coherent societies. We will implement intergenerational dialogue through interviewing citizens living in the same communities enabling at the same
time their civic engagement and active participation. The interviews will be framed to collect the perceptions of different generations through their life stories narratives promoting active ageing. Partnership aims to develop a digital archive of intangible heritage based on the results of the interviews, targeting to bridge the intercultural, intergenerational and social gap

Social Sustainability is a critical component of a community’s wellbeing and longevity. Communities must not only be environmentally sustainable, they must also be socially sustainable. This project’s motivation is to promote social sustainability in communities through intergenerational dialogue that can help
people in different age brackets to learn from each other and allow generations to exchange views on civic participation and reasons for being an active citizen. Intergenerational dialogue can help generations to build and follow more actively Europe’s values and ultimately promote social sustainability.
