This article aims to present the results of a research about the importance of intergenerational practices with longevity people. Young people in socially vulnerable situations, who go to an institution, the Quixote Project, are oriented to take on the role of socio-cultural agents when they share activities with the elderly in the Pasárgada Day-Care Center. Aiming at the rapprochement of members of both generations, an educational action research was developed, and the qualitative method was applied in light of the gerontological foundation, complemented by the participant observation, registered in the Research Journal. The methodology foresaw a series of workshops, which were evaluated throughout the course, undergoing the necessary changes. The results, in the eyes of the participants, pointed out the intergenerational opportunities as very successful, as well as promising because they are founded on fraternity, being able to bring young and old together and change their daily life.Downloads
