Abstract

Nowadays, we are witnessing demographic changes that are having a significant impact on intergenerational relations. The ageing of the population and the generational alienation are key factors that require new activities to establish intergenerational cooperation. The presentation of the professions of the older generation to primary school pupils is one of the segments, which brings together representatives of both the younger and older generation. A questionnaire survey was administered to 200 primary school pupils. The data were collected and statistically analysed using a quantitative methodology. It was found that introduction of professions by the older generation to primary school pupils had an impact on facilitating career choices and better intergenerational cohesion.
