The CCM and the Spanish Red Cross organized in Madrid a seminar under the title `bridging the gap towards intergenerational dialogue: Volunteering as a vector of social cohesion¿, focusing on the role that the volunteering promotion can play to bring generations closer together. While delivering volunteer service, both young and elder people can benefit from mutual contact and feel part of the solution to the current and complex crises situations rather than a burden to society, promoting mutual understanding in a relationship based on personal growth and knowledge exchange. ITC¿s (Information and Communication technology) can also play a significant role as it stands as a relevant tool in the contact between generations.
