Abstract: The leisure experiences shared between grandparents and grandchildren from an environmental-ecological dimension can be key in human development, at a personal, family, social and sustainable level, reinforcing family cohesion, the well-being of both generations and respect and care for the environment. The present research aims to identify the environmental-ecological leisure activities shared by grandparents and grandchildren, and their link with variables related to temporal, spatial, affective and motivational aspects. Two focus groups were carried out. In the first one, 8 grandchildren between 6 and 12 years old, 4 boys and 4 girls participated; in the second one, 9 grandparents (5 boys and 4 girls) with grandchildren between 6 and 12 years old participated. A category system was created and validated through Cohen's Kappa and Fleiss' Kappa indexes. The results reflect the important presence of the environmental-ecological dimension in the activities shared between grandparents and grandchildren, highlighting experiences of caring for animals, milking, tilling the fields, planting and caring for vegetables and fruit trees, as well as making preserves. These experiences nurture intergenerational co-learning about respect, commitment and environmental awareness, promoting sustainable development.
