Abstract

Today's society is in the midst of a number of unprecedented changes. Among them are the longevity and mobility of people. In other words, we are facing societies with a larger older population and greater cultural diversity. In this context, the school is an excellent environment to promote social and intercultural cohesion and to create learning networks beyond the curricular content. This article presents the evaluation of an intergenerational experience based on reading support carried out with primary school pupils. Based on a qualitative methodology, on the one hand, drawings and photographs related to the experience were analysed and, on the other hand, five discussion groups were carried out. The results underline the potential of the methodology used to enrich the curriculum.  It also highlights the impact that this type of experience has on the individual, community, school and social level, promoting interculturality and lifelong learning.
