Summary/Abstract: The importance of adult education in the process of building intergenerational relationships has been emphasized in andragogy for many years. The growing differences between generations results from various events, historical, socio-cultural experiences and the current rapid development of modern information and communication technologies. The article presents selected problems related to multi- generationalism in the Polish ageing society. Searching for solutions for building bonds between people of different ages is an important challenge for andragogists and gerontologists nowadays. The de- scribed examples of places and learning spaces for adults from different generations show opportuni- ties for intergenerational dialogue and breaking stereotypes about young and older adults.
