Abstract :

For the fifth year in a row, the project called 'Let's spread the rainbow of friendship amongst generations’ has been carried out at the Anton Aškerc Velenje Primary School premises. The project was designed as a form of intergenerational cooperation between the students and the younger as well as the older participants in- and outside of the school. Within the project the school was connected to three units of the Velenje Kindergarten (the units are called Najdihojca, Vrtiljak and Jakec) as well as to the Velenje Centre for Education and Qualification, the Velenje Home for Elderly Care and the Velenje Third Age University. All the above mentioned partners, the children’s parents and grandparents as well as the teachers working at the school participated and worked together in various activities and events. The aim of the project was to present examples of technical activities within the project and their integration in the form of a creative technical cooperation of different generations.
