Resumo(s)
No decurso do desenvolvimento das sociedades, observa-se um aumento da
longevidade tanto em mulheres como em homens e, apesar de se verificar a ritmos
distintos, a esperança média de vida mantém uma tendência de crescimento contínuo.
Todavia, a construção do significado da velhice é trespassada por crenças, mitos
e preconceitos que, no contexto social, se manifestam através de representações
depreciativas do fenómeno do envelhecimento, evidenciando a necessidade de promover
uma reflexão crítica sobre a educação intergeracional como estratégia de combate ao
idadismo presente na sociedade.
Por se configurar como um veículo socioeducativo, assume-se igualmente como
um elemento de relevo para o desenvolvimento comunitário, ao fomentar a coesão social,
o diálogo intergeracional e o fortalecimento dos laços sociais.
A presente investigação propõe compreender o fenómeno em análise através de
um estudo de caso como metodologia, evidenciando as suas potencialidades em termos
de aplicação prática em contextos humanos e em situações do quotidiano.
Os objetivos passam assim, por avaliar o impacto desses programas na
transformação das atitudes sociais, que irá se basear em entrevistas semiestruturas e
através da observação participante tendo as notas de campo como instrumento que
incluem a análise das perceções dos participantes e a avaliação de iniciativas previamente
implementadas.
Com o presente estudo foi possível aferir que o afastamento geracional ocorre
devido à falta de abertura para a comunicação e entendimento entre ambas as partes
envolvidas. Estas devem-se a uma visão distorcida criada pela falta de iniciativa e de
diálogo por parte dos jovens e idosos.
As societies have developed, there has been an increase in life expectancy among both women and men, and although this has occurred at different rates, average life expectancy continues to rise. However, the construction of the meaning of old age is permeated by beliefs, myths, and prejudices that, in the social context, manifest themselves through derogatory representations of the aging process, highlighting the need to promote critical reflection on intergenerational education as a strategy to combat ageism in society. As it functions as a socio-educational vehicle, it also serves as a key element for community development by fostering social cohesion, intergenerational dialogue, and the strengthening of social bonds. This research aims to understand the phenomenon under analysis using a case study as its methodology, highlighting its potential for practical application in human contexts and everyday situations. The objectives are thus to assess the impact of these programs on the transformation of social attitudes, which will be based on semi-structured interviews and participant observation, using field notes as a tool that includes the analysis of participants’ perceptions and the evaluation of previously implemented initiatives. This study found that the generational gap occurs due to a lack of openness to communication and understanding between both parties involved. This stems from a distorted view created by a lack of initiative and dialogue on the part of both young people and the elderly.
