General description:

The project leader was Loška dolina from Slovenia, while the other partners were: Municipality of Rečica ob Savinji and Inštitut Anton Trstenjak for gerontology and intergenerational coexistence on the Slovenian side, and the town of Prelog and the town of Ludbreg from the Croatian side. In each of the involved Slovenian and Croatian municipalities, the Intergeneration Center has come to an end. The organizer of the social network for quality aging and better co-existence among generations has been trained for its permanent work. In addition to the organization of the Intergeneration Centers through the project, numerous events have also been held that have contributed to the increase of intergenerational solidarity in the community.
