Project description: The aim of the project is to contribute to the involvement of young and old people in solving social problems, bringing both generations closer together through dialogue as an important method in a democratic society. The project will ‘hear the voices of older and young people’, which will be a good basis for an advocacy process with policy makers. On the other hand, the project creatively contributes to the rapprochement of generations – through a new form of artistic expression – performance.

The artistic and promotional activities of this project are:

  • dialogue (discussion);
  • intergenerational performances;
  • a short film containing excerpts from the project activities (debates and performances); a final conference to promote the results and products of the project.

The EGTC TRITIA will be responsible for the organisation of two debates. After each debate, conclusions will be drawn which will serve as a comparative analysis and then as a promotional tool for improving public policies in the social security system and in the field of intergenerational solidarity.
