The main aim of this project was to promote social sustainability through the promotion of intangible heritage of different generations living in the same community in two different countries (Spain and Cyprus).
The project’s intention was to endorse intergenerational dialogue and intangible heritage as effective practices for building coherent societies. According to “The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Developments-UN”, essential elements for achieving Social sustainability are the opportunities given to different generations to build healthy and adoptive communities. Human societies have constantly developed and adapted their intangible cultural heritage, in order to address fundamental needs and social issues across time and space. The people involved in this project from Scholas and PAOK gained great benefit from participating in the research activity. It was an opportunity for these organizations to share their experience and knowledge about the characteristics of their communities and social systems, but also for their staff and members to participate in the training activity in order to develop their skills on how to conduct an efficient interview. University of Zaragoza, not only transferred their knowledge and expertise in the field but also built valuable affiliations with organizations outside of the academic community. It was also important for strengthening the capacity of local organizations to create international networks.
