Promoting intergenerational dialogue and intagible heritage for achieving social sustainability in local communities

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.

Objectives

Intergenerational Dialogue

Collect the perceptions of different generations through their life stories narratives is the opportunity to raise their voice regarding their generation’s life style and way of living.

Intangible Heritage

Human societies have constantly developed and adapted their intangible cultural heritage, in order to address fundamental needs and social issues across time and space.

Civic Engagement

Citizens with fewer opportunities and diverse backgrounds will have the opportunity to get involved in interviews and have their testimonies shared among the community.
