Abstract
This article presents a mixed-methods research study currently in progress, evaluating the impact of intergenerational music-based projects on the interaction between older adults and adolescents. The primary objective is to analyze how joint musical activities foster cooperative learning, mitigate unwanted loneliness, and promote essential educational values. The methodology integrates standardized questionnaires and qualitative tools to assess social cohesion and socio-emotional competencies. Preliminary observations indicate that music serves as a critical facilitator in reducing social isolation while enhancing empathy in younger participants. The study concludes that these ongoing interventions provide a promising foundation for the design of inclusive public policies and educational programs.
Keywords: intergenerational relationships, music education, loneliness, cooperative learning, research in progress
