Las investigaciones muestran a las personas mayores como la generación más vulnerable, ya que son a las que más les afecta la soledad, el aislamiento y la exclusión social. Hay una clara necesidad de nuevos métodos de educación para prevenir este tipo de discriminación, de modo que todas las generaciones de nuestra sociedad pueden convivir en la justicia, la solidaridad y el respeto mutuo. El Proy
ecto pretende desarrollar formas innovadoras de enseñanza y aprendizaje en la integración de las personas mayores en la vida familiar y la promoción de la cooperación inter-generacional. Los socios del proyecto desarrollarán estrategias específicas de enseñanza para capacitar a las personas mayores, además de enseñar y difundir las tradiciones familiares, haciendo hincapié en la importancia del papel de los abuelos en las familias y en el desarrollo psicosomático de los niños, incluso cuando las nuevas generaciones ya no viven bajo el mismo techo. El proyecto combina el conocimiento y las habilidades de instituciones europeas de investigación y capacitación, de las organizaciones no gubernamentales, escuelas, organizaciones culturales, artísticas y recreativas, universidades, escuelas de idiomas y asociaciones familiares.

Project “Integration of senior Europeans through fostering of family traditions” seeks to develop innovative teaching and learning material on integration of senior people into family life and promoting the inter-generational co-operation. Project partners will develop specific educational strategies to empower seniors, teach and spread family traditions, emphasising to families the importance of the role of grandparents in the psychosomatic development of the children even when the generations no longer live under the same roof. The project combines knowledge and skills of European research and training institutions, non-governmental organisations, schools, cultural, art and recreational organizations, universities, language schools and family associations. As we all know Europe has an aging population that is increasing. Research shows older people as the most vulnerable generation, since they are the ones that morey experiment loneliness, isolation and social exclusion. There is a clear need for new methods of education to prevent such discrimination, so that all generations of our society can live in justice, solidarity and mutual respect. This project aims to develop innovative ways of teaching and learning in the integration of older people in the family life and promote intergenerational cooperation. We are 8 partner`s countries and we are developing new learning strategies to empower older people, teaching and disseminating family traditions, emphasizing the importance of the role of the grandparents in the family life and in the psychosomatic development of the children, even when the generations no longer live under the same roof. This project combines the knowledge and skills of European research training institutions, NGOs, schools, cultural organizations, universities, language schools and family associations. Each of the partner countries is developing their own activity to achieve the same common purpose, promoting a sense of the roots of history, tradition and culture. We know that older people can offer to the younger generation the knowledge, experience and wisdom they have acquired throughout their lives.
