Presentations and interactive debate sessions, with intergenerational exchange
Intervention will consist of 12 sessions, each lasting about two hours, conducted on a weekly basis and delivered both in-person and remotely. The sessions will include presentations and interactive debate sessions, with a central focus on intergenerational exchange covering cultural, historical, and health-related topics. A key aspect is the active involvement of beneficiaries, individuals over sixty-five, who will be asked to prepare presentations with the support of project-provided facilitators. Simultaneously, the project will promote and enhance skills, organizational capabilities, and computer literacy.
