INTERGENERATIONAL EDUCATION AS A STRATEGY FOR HEALTH PROMOTION AND SCHOOL COEXISTENCE: METHODOLOGICAL PROPOSAL OF THE YOUNG DOCTOR PROJECT

Abstract

projected, with positive effects on active listening, mutual respect, and the appreciation of diversity. From a symbolic and cultural standpoint, the project aims to redefine generational stereotypes and promote a more welcoming, dialogical culture. Furthermore, the data obtained are expected to support the preparation of a final evaluative report and the creation of original pedagogical materials—such as the Theoretical Workbook, the Activity Workbook, and the Good Practices Manual—to enable qualified replication of the proposal in other school units. Conclusion/Implications: By promoting encounters between generations, this experience reaffirms the role of the school as a territory for dialogue and collective construction. In this sense, the contributions of the Young Doctor Project transcend the boundaries of the school, reaching the spheres of education, health, and public policy formulation. The proposal underscores the importance of lifelong learning for all ages and positions youth protagonism as a driving force for social transformation.
