Bridging the gap

“Age isn't how old you are but how old you feel”
Gabriel García Márquez
Some time ago, my grandfather moved into an old people's home and I visited
him there. He was sitting in the living room with other residents, half of them
asleep. The room was clean and warm, with flowers and pictures, and the care
assistants were kind and cheerful. The TV was on and the only other sound was
snoring and embarrassing noises of digestion. It was depressing. Grandpa
talked endlessly about past times and how much he missed his grandchildren,
but I knew from my sister that they hated going to visit him there. And, to be
honest, I could understand it perfectly.
At that time I came across a magazine article about a pre-school nursery set in
an old people’s home. Just take a minute to think about that, young children and
elderly people being cared for together, interacting together, teaching each
other. Genius, isn’t it? But this isn’t just some Utopian dream, this set-up
actually exists. The idea is simple but revolutionary: children and residents eat
lunch together and share activities such as music, painting, and gardening. In
the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children and,
if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle
to be given.
Intergenerational programs are nowadays growing in popularity all over the

world and are grounded in the idea of bringing the old and the young together.
Due to the fact that there is so little interaction between the generations, young
people often don't understand the needs and abilities of older adults, and older
adults often forget the positive emotional benefits of being around young
children. These programs purposefully bring together people of different
generations to share their talents and resources, supporting each other in
relationships that benefit both the individuals and the community.
Successful programs are based on reciprocity, are sustained and intentional,

and involve education and preparation for all ages. Young and old are viewed
as assets, not problems to be solved!
