One of the ways to develop these relations is through intergenerational dialogue, which can also prevent and counteract modern social problems. However, this requires the active participation of both the young and the elderly. The article is an attempt to capture the essence of intergenerational dialogue and emphasise its role in the rural environment. To this end, the study combines theoretical considerations with a description of practical solutions (example of the “Seniors in Action” programme). A significant issue of the “Seniors in Action” programme is the idea of intergenerationality implemented at the projectmanagement level (pairs of cultural operators representing different generations) as well as at the level of activities addressed to a local society including people of different ages. In a rural environment it is also possible to build intergenerational bonds based on neighbourly relations, where contacts between many generations are part of everyday life, as well as in interest groups (e.g. NGOs, rural community centres) whose purpose is to solve the problems of local communities. Effective dialogue is an exchange of values that brings profits to the entire local community.}, title={Intergenerational Dialogue and Social Activation of Older People in the Rural Environment}, type={Text}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl./Content/243630/wir_2019_4_185_165_185.pdf}, keywords={dialogue, generation, intergenerational relations, intergenerational dialogue}, }
