The event will focus on how intergenerational relationships can contribute to the promotion, protection and full enjoyment of the human rights of youth and older persons, by displaying a broad set of examples in which intergenerational partnerships and solidarity help to achieve social inclusion, social integration, social cohesion, the promotion of human rights, and the attainment of sustainable development. A panel of experts´ presentations will display some areas when intergenerational relationships can catalyze the enjoyment of the human rights of persons of all generations, such as early childhood development; domestic care; living arrangements; migration; remittances; social security and protection schemes; and political, economic and social participation.
