A new edition of the CENIE photography competition is open, now under the title: "Intergenerational relationships: a source of vitality".

The International Centre on Aging (CENIE), among other relevant actions, is the promoter and developer of the Programme for a Long-Lived Society, based on the strategic decision to address longevity as one of the strengths of present and future society.

The Programme for a Long-Lived Society is based on the need to encourage, support and implement studies and research into scientific and technological advances and to promote communicative actions that contribute to discovering the empowering reality of the new long-lived societies, helping to improve their social perception and strengthening the factors of progress and growth that such a promising reality implies.

The Programme for a Long-Lived Society is an approved initiative (0551_PSL_6_E) in the INTERREG V-A Cooperation Programme, Spain-Portugal, (POCTEP), 2014-2020, financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

4th Edition of the Photography Contest

Following the successful participation of previous editions, for the fourth consecutive year the General Foundation of the University of Salamanca, as part of the activities of the Programme for a long-lived society, launches the Call for its International Photography Contest.

The theme chosen for this year's edition of the competition is "Intergenerational relationships: source of vitality". 

The aim is to take a new, artistic and creative look at one of the key factors resulting from the continuous increase in longevity. Nowadays, in the same period of time, four or five generations coincide. And not on a one-off basis, as was previously the case, but on an increasingly daily and universal basis.

Intergenerationality is much more than multigenerationality. It means encouraging the connection between the different generations, in order to generate new dynamics of relationships and social behaviour. To unite knowledge, values and attitudes in favour of a more plural society, more cohesive, committed, supportive and open to the participation of all.
