SLÁMOVÁ, Kamila
The thesis called "The Opportunities of Intergenerational Solidarity in the Senior Nursing Homes in the Pilsen Region" deals with intergenerational activities, activities that run between the retirement homes and school facilities in the Pilsner Region. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and an observational part. Theoretical part of the thesis deals with questions connected with age structure of the population, intergenerational relationships, solidarity and education. At the same time it deals with intergenerational cooperation, intergenerational programs and with importance of the intergenerational cooperation in international documents. For the observational part a qualitative research was chosen. For this part its goal, methodology and a schedule were defined. Primarily methods of questioning and semi structured interview were chosen. The interviewees were staff of the retirement homes in the Pilsen Region. The research group was formed of the staff that performs intergenerational projects. Secondarily a method of general data analysis, literal transcription technique, coding, data categorization and the method of forming clumps. To answer the research questions the obtained data were evaluated and interpreted according to the individual research questions. The research mapped activities within the intergenerational projects. They deal with long-term meeting and cooperation between senior citizens and school children. Thanks to the intergenerational projects a permanent intergenerational cooperation was enabled. Senior citizens may live a large part of the final stage of their lives in an active way according to their inner mentality and fulfil their higher needs. Intergenerational cooperation has its difficulties such as insufficient time span, insufficient room for activities, ageism or wrongly chosen communication between the given generations but still the intergenerational projects have been carried out to fulfil the set goals gradually. Within performing the intergenerational projects even the goals expected from such programs on the national and international level have been gradually fulfilled. The intergenerational cooperation has been strengthened thanks to such projects in the retirement homes. The intergenerational projects are thus reflected positively in gradual strengthening of the intergenerational relationships and solidarity which has been much needed to supress constantly growing ageism in the society. The result of the thesis may be used as feedback not only for the management and staff of the Pilsen Region retirement homes but also for management and staff of other organizations who may stand up for performing of the intergenerational projects in their facilities. Appropriately they may be used as studying materials for humanities or social work students or as a background material within next intergenerational solidarity research. In relation to the current Covid-19 situation in the Czech Republic it would be reasonable to consider using of the virtual communication through appropriate platforms. Thanks to the modern communication technologies the intergenerational cooperation in the retirement homes could proceed further.
