Activity and memory: resignification of intergenerational practices

Abstract

Intergenerational practices have become a necessity to help establish relationships that benefit people of different ages (Vieira y Sousa 2016). These practices, better known as IGP for its acronym in English, have become relevant today since it is considered that they are tools that allow the learning of the participants, making there a greater mutual understanding, in addition to promoting interventions on aging demographic that various populations of the world are having.

The main objective of this article focuses on the creation of intergenerational practices from a short film workshop held in the city of Aguascalientes, Mexico. In this activity, they sought to create systems that allow stimulating spaces for collective creation and learning in a horizontal way, allowing the participants to re-signify the perceptions, as well as the memories, that they have.
