The conference will examine in a broader sense the potential of intergenerational learning, that is the dialogue and mutual learning between the younger and older generations (such as sharing traditions, culture, values and worldviews) as a way towards sustainable development.
The aim of the Big Foot project, developed in the framework of the European Union Lifelong Learning Programme, is to enable intergenerational learning and dialogue in the European mountain areas, by valuating the skills and knowledge of the older population, combining traditional knowledge with modern communication tools and new ideas, in order to facilitate innovative, creative and productive joint solutions for local sustainable development ( http://www.bigfoot-project.eu/).
