The EU – Connecting Generations (CONGEN)
Creating a connection between the generations by promoting the European idea.
PROJECT’S START DATE: 01/03/2024
PROJECT’S END DATE: 31/08/2025
TOTAL BUDGET: 97 790 €
Description and Objectives
Together with our partners from Poland and Croatia, we will implement a series of activities designed to promote social inclusion for seniors through engagement with young people. Our aim is to enhance intergenerational integration, fostering a space for sharing perspectives and stimulating mutual interest in the topic of the European Union.
Based on our observations and feedback from our partners, we have identified a significant worldview gap between younger and older generations, which hampers collaborative efforts for the benefit of our local communities. We plan to bridge this gap through intergenerational activities that present the history of the European Union in an engaging and accessible manner for both groups. Currently, such activities are not adequately implemented in our partner cities and organizations, so we are committed to addressing this shortfall by focusing on European education through innovative and creative methods.
Project Goals:
- Foster integration between seniors and young people
- Facilitate the exchange of experiences and viewpoints across generations
- Enhance interest in the European Union among both age groups
