“…These overlaps and interactions imply that intergenerational interactions may not always yield positive outcomes. These spaces pose an opportunity to elaborate on discourses of intergenerational conflicts that have been identified and problematised over the years, including, but not limited to, concerns about intergenerational transmissions of the cycle of violence [86], economic inequalities observed among age-cohorts due to policies that seem to benefit older generations, and which were not addressed by intergenerational mobility efforts [87][88][89] and other concerns.…”

As a response to the call for reimagining early childhood education for social sustainability in the future, this conceptual paper aims to suggest revisiting and strengthening the case to include intentional intergenerational engagements and programmes in kindergartens as approaches towards sustainable futures for children. In this paper, we argue that we must talk about intergenerational solidarity on all levels, including in early childhood education and care settings, and that it must be deliberate and by design. Learning from cultural–historical concepts and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, intergenerational programmes in early years settings are to be presented as intentional initiatives and opportunities for interrelated and collaborating actors and institutions to bring younger children and older adults together. We present a conceptual framework that features conflicts and opportunities within overlapping and congruent spaces to understand conditions for various intergenerational practices and activities in different places, and to promote intergenerational dialogues, collaborations and shared knowledge, contributing to a relational and socially sustainable future for which we aim.
