These are appropriate complements for lifelong learning among older adults and for the development of a change in the attitudes that young people exhibit toward the elderly (Borrero, 2015 ; Park, 2015 ; Thompson and Weaver, 2016 ). As proven by various authors, participation in interventions of this type yields benefits in terms of improving older adults' health and well-being by facilitating continued intellectual or physical activity in the elderly, and it simultaneously contributes to the encouraging of values and behaviors in children and to the construction of identity among adolescents (Celdrán et al, 2009 ; Galbraith et al, 2015 ; Fujiwara, 2016 ; Sakurai et al, 2016 ).…”

“…A review of intergenerational case studies across the United Kingdom led by the Beth Johnson Foundation documented a network of over 850 organisations and practitioners who are actively involved in delivering intergenerational programmes [10]. Specifically, studies of intergenerational programmes in education (including technology) generally point to a positive impact such programmes have had on the participants, such as fostering more positive attitudes toward older adults [11]; improving older people's sense of self-worth, health and well-being [12]; improving classroom atmosphere [13], and a higher overall level of social integration [14].…”
