Purpose and objectives of the project

Bridging Generations aims to tackle age-related discrimination by encouraging intergenerational (re)bonding. The project empowers both youth and seniors through inclusive education and innovative tools, fostering empathy, collaboration, and emotional wellbeing.


Importance of bridging generations

Our research shows both age groups suffer from ageism and “youngism.” Modern life often separates generations, diminishing opportunities for shared experiences. Bridging these divides strengthens communities and individual mental health.
