Main Methods:

  • Community participatory research involving older adults as co-researchers and participants.
  • Individual semistructured interviews conducted with older adults (n=15) and university students (n=17).

Main Results:

  • Professional dramaturgical processes (storytelling, reminiscence, playfulness) facilitated generative learning.
  • Participants enhanced their situational understanding and problem-solving skills.
  • Acquired skills like openness, flexibility, and adaptation transferred to daily life.

Conclusions:

  • Participation reduced ageism and improved intergenerational relationships.
