(1) Background: The population of older adults is growing faster but most of them
experience physical, psychological, and social limitations. Higher education should reflect these
concerns by providing students appropriate skills to support a sustainable society and putting the
acquired theoretical knowledge into practice. Intergenerational Service Learning (SL) is an educational
approach capable of contributing to these requirements. The goal of the study was to analyze the
effects of an intergenerational SL program from the complementary perspective of the different agents
involved. (2) Methods: The study used hermeneutic phenomenological methodology, widely used in
educational research. A total of 23 (three female) Physical Education Teacher Education students
(PETEs) and 20 older adults (three male) participated. Reflective journals were used for PETEs and
semi-structured group interviews for older adults. (3) Results: The following categories emerged
from PETEs: social sensitivity and disconfirmation of negative stereotypes, academic and professional
learnings, satisfaction and personal growth, and desire for social justice. From older adults, four
complementary categories emerged: disconfirmation of negative stereotypes, improvement of
physical function, satisfaction and desire of continuity, and social interaction. (4) Conclusions:
Intergenerational SL offers important social and educational inputs by deconstructing negative
stereotypes and providing positive experiences to both PETEs and older adults. [-]
