The success of the future of our communities depends largely on how our society organizes learning, integrates knowledge, and promotes collective wisdom and action through the generations. So much so, that the main objective of this paper is to review different studies of intergenerational field, whose analysis will allow us to determine which interventions have a greater rigor and control, in order to be implemented or act as a basis for the development of future programs. To do this, we have carried out the search and selection of those articles published over the last five years, which have been collected by major refereed and indexed journals. The vast majority of the studies reviewed focus on education or health, contributing to improve social behavior and quality of life of the participants. However, as many variables and fundamental aspects of any intergenerational relationship have been obviated, and given that there are significant biases and differences in methodology and procedures from different studies, we wish to continue this research. During this study we have been recipients of an aid to finance the hiring predoctoral research staff, issued to A. Canedo by JCyL, co-financed by the European Social Fund, and led by JN García (EDU / 1083/2013 , 2013).
