Intergenerational learning and solidarity (Turkey)






 
Osman and his mother
In the XXI century society, there are some facts never before experienced, that we have for granted: a) The ever growing longevity of human beings, and the consequent demographic ageing; b) The absolute necessity for individuals to become aware of their own expectations and interests of lifelong learning, without losing sight that it is framed within a community and generational context; c) The European social model, based on the contract of solidarity between generations, is a fabricated situation: if the citizens want to keep it, they will have to be more productive and socially responsible - this can only be achieved through the learning / continuous improvement.

Welcome

Welcome to our new projet "Many Reasons to Believe..."

It is essential that schools have a role in calling students’ attention to social solidarity, to the development of volunteering and of a spirit of solidarity among students. It is important to promote actions that make them feel useful for society and it is also important that society gives students more opportunities for them to feel they are citizens with rights and obligations.
Solidarity nets are more than a form of survival for the human species. They are an alternative to insertion and a way to fight social exclusion. They are also an important form of collective participation in building a fairer and more balanced society.
