Abstract
Danish society encourages seniors to volunteer. Authorities support one-off and long-term programmes for the senior community. The main focus is on the senior – an active Denmark citizen who helps his/her peers or other adults. There is a complete lack of activities in Denmark where seniors regularly meet youngsters in intergenerational programmes. In Czechia there are a number of intergenerational programmes at both local and national level, organised by non-profit organisations and supported by municipal or state authorities. The author has compiled the results of field research in Denmark and the Czech Republic and compared the situation in both countries.
