The average life expectancy of an individual is increasing, which results in an increasing percentage of elderly people in society. As a result, intergenerational relationships are of great importance, the frequency of which is decreasing in modern society as a result of demographic and social changes. The implementation of the intergenerational connection program begins with the need to develop relationships between different generations. Intergenerational programs are defined as a social service of planned interactions between groups of unequal ages, the purpose of which is to promote intergenerational contacts and establish a positive relationship. The implementation of the program in countries around the world resulted in a serious understanding of the social problem with the aim of eliminating it through planned intergenerational activities. Numerous studies point to the benefits of the program for all participating generations. The application of intergenerational connection programs is also necessary in healthcare. The increase in stereotypes of health professionals directed towards the elderly leads to inadequate access and provision of care to the user. Intergenerational programs are a potential way to solve the mentioned problems, but they are also influential in improving relationships between colleagues of different ages and for acquiring a higher level of implementation of this humanitarian profession. The aim of this study was to examine the attitudes of the population about intergenerational connection, elderly people and their encounter with intergenerational programs as well as the desire to participate in them. The research was conducted on a sample of 302 participants with the use of a questionnaire conducted online on the social network "Facebook" in the period from July 22nd until August 29th, 2022. The research resulted in positive attitudes towards intergenerational connection and the desirability of including older people in groups of younger people. Also, the results of the research mostly indicate the absence of prejudices against the elderly. Furthermore, the majority of participants have encountered intergenerational connection and indicate a desire to participate in the same programs, although they agree with the lack of intergenerational programs in Croatia. In conclusion, the intergenerational connection is known to society and recognized by it, and the participants express their desire to participate in its programs. However, the programs in Croatia are not given enough attention, and despite their implementation, they are unknown to the participating population.
