Intergenerational meetings
Primary school pupils (aged 6 to 15) regularly (once a month) visit a social services facility for intergenerational group meetings with older people (clients). They spend approximately 1 to 1.5 hours together on joint activities (board games, workshops, barbecue parties and others). The school and the facility are close to each other (from the same community).
What it sets out to do
a mutually interesting and beneficial relationship for both older people (clients of a social services facility) and children (primary school pupils)
Who it reaches
the Bratislava-Staré Mesto borough, or the whole city of Bratislava
Who runs it
a social services facility (a public organisation – a budgetary organisation of local government) and a primary school (a public school)
What seems to make it work
motivated staff (professional pedagogical staff) on the side of both the social services facility and the primary school, intergenerational dynamics, partnership between organisations
What gets in the way
We have not recorded any significant obstacles. It should be taken into account that pupils attend the activity during school hours (they miss some subject at school). It is necessary to individually assess which clients of the facility are suitable for this type of activity, and to maintain the principle of voluntary participation
How it is funded
the activity takes place within the primary function of both institutions (upbringing and education at the school, an individual approach and openness to the community at the social services facility, and providing leisure/interest activities)
Moving it somewhere else
Yes, it falls within the competence of schools and social services facilities; a suitable condition is also support from the founders/establishers of these institutions
Read the original in Slovak
Žiaci základnej školy (vo veku 6 až 15 rokov) chodia pravidelne (1 krát mesačne) do zariadenia sociálnych služieb, na medzigeneračné skupinové stretnutia so seniormi (klientmi). Strávia spolu približne 1 až 1,5 hodiny spoločnými aktivitami (spoločenské hry, workshopy, barbecue party a iné). Škola a zariadenie sú v blízkosti (zo spoločnej komunity).
What it sets out to do
obojstranne zaujímavý a prínosný vzťah pre seniorov (klientov zariadenia sociálnych služieb) aj deti (žiakov základnej školy)
Who it reaches
mestská časť Bratislava-Staré Mesto alebo celé mesto Bratislava
Who runs it
zariadenie sociálnych služieb (verejná organizácia-rozpočtová organizácia miestnej samosprávy) a základná škola (verejná škola)
What seems to make it work
motivovaný personál (pedagogický odborný personál) na strane zariadenia sociálnych služieb aj základnej školy, medzigeneračná dynamika, partnerstvo organizácií
What gets in the way
Nezaznamenali sme výrazné prekážky. Treba brať do úvahy, že žiaci chodia na aktivitu v rámci vyučovania (vynechajú nejaký predmet v škole). Treba individuálne posúdiť, ktorí klienti zariadenia sú vhodní na tento typ aktivít, zachovať princíp dobrovoľnosti
How it is funded
aktivita prebieha v rámci primárnej funkcie oboch inštitúcií (výchova a vzdelávanie v škole, individuálny prístup a otvorenosť komunite v zariadení sociálnych služieb a zabezpečovanie záujmovej činnosti)
Moving it somewhere else
Áno, je to v kompetencii škôl a zariadení sociálnych služieb, vhodnou podmienkou je aj podpora zo strany zriaďovateľov týchto inšitúcií
