| Annotation | A European project known as TOY (Together Old and Young, www.toyproject.net), aims to promote intergenerational learning and relationships in community spaces by bringing together young children (aged under 9) and older people (over 55 years) in activities. This article describes a local initiative implemented by the Portuguese TOY partner, based at the University of Aveiro. The initiative aimed to bring together children and older people in playing and building games to promote their happiness and well-being, intergenerational learning, communication and mutual understanding. Games, toys and playing emerged as powerful tools for learning, linking generations through fun activities carried out in a positive and natural atmosphere of happiness and meaningfulness. (JL). |
