Positive outcomes of IGP have the great potential to promote health and
well being of older adults and children as the literature suggests that IGP bene-
fit both (Morita and Kobayashi, 2013). For children there are specified positive
aspects in the improvement of children perceptions of elder people (Gualano
et al., 2017), improving the academic success of young children from IGP in
reading activity (Sakurai et al., 2016) and understanding of the aging process
(Jarrott et al., 2006; Newman and Hatton-Yeo, 2008; Morita and Kobayashi,
2013). On the other hand, elderly that were included in IGP maintained great-
er functional abilities and intellectual activities (Sakurai et al., 2016), they also
increased self-esteem, improved well-being (Hernandez and Gonzalez, 2008;
Morita and Kobayashi, 2013), increased social contact (Newman and Riess, 1992;
Morita and Kobayashi, 2013), decrease distress (George and Singer, 2011; Morita
