A brief analysis of the multiple changes that occur in all generations and, to a lesser extent, for the senior generation is given, which continues to attribute roles and activities with an anachronistic view which means that in the different social sectors Have different interests and images: support and care of the grandchildren in the family environment; Target generation for consumption of leisure and technology offers; Support in volunteer tasks and, finally, target group of the actions carried out by health services to achieve a higher quality of life. The bias of the proposals is evidenced with the consequent interpretations and discriminations that do not diminish the stereotypes linked to the age nor open new opportunities. The theoretical framework that underpins the project "Knowledge building based on multigenerational relations" is presented and the research that has been carried out, starting from the case analysis, is presented, following the parameters of the Research Participatory Action methodology. It analyzes the process followed with the participation of the three generations: students, teachers and senior generation. Finally the value of the project is evidenced with the qualitative evaluation of the three generations.
