Belaunaldi arteko harremanak: unibertsitateko curriculuma aberasteko bide

Abstract

Advances in the field of medicine are increasing the longevity of people. This new reality implies social and generational changes and thus the widening of the generation gap. With these considerations in mind, intergenerational relationships play an important role in promoting greater social cohesion, creating shared spaces between generations to reduce the generational gap. With the aim of investigating the effects that the creation of new spaces that facilitate intergenerational relationships can have on university students, the main objective of this research is to collect the voices of students who have participated in the intergenerational meetings organized in the Faculty of Education of Bilbao in the academic year 2019/2020 together with the Hartu Emanak association. In order to achieve this objective, a qualitative methodology has been chosen, which has allowed a holistic and social understanding of the object of study. Likewise, a reflective vision has been developed through introspective reflections by collecting the voices of the participants (n = 17). The results show that intergenerational experiences carried out in the university context have a positive impact on the students, enriching the learning process and the curriculum and allowing social cohesion.
