Intergenerational Learning in Practice Summary

Intergenerational Learning in Practice: Together Old and Young by Margaret Kernan

Based on innovative global practice, Intergenerational Learning in Practice presents a unique contribution to the field of intergenerational learning. Drawing on the Together Old and Young (TOY) programme, this book provides a comprehensive background to intergenerational learning, along with tools and resources to help develop and improve your own intergenerational practice.

Experienced international authors from Europe, North America and Australia provide a broad array of perspectives on intergenerational learning, ranging from pedagogy to planning and community development, and cover topics including:

The context, theory and existing research behind intergenerational learning
The changing relationships between young children and older adults
Building communities and services for all ages
Managing everyday encounters in public spaces between young and old
Ensuring quality in intergenerational practice
Insights on how intergenerational learning challenges discrimination

Intergenerational Learning in Practice Reviews

The soul is healed by being with children. This book provides the scientific underpinning of Dostoyevsky's wisdom. It gives inspiring examples of connecting the young and the elderly and how to strengthen community life. - Elly Singer, Associate Professor University Utrecht, The Netherlands, retired

Borrowing a term from the book, this edited volume is a good quality polyvalent form for it demonstrates multifunctionality. It consists of a high-grade compendium of theoretical reflections and inspirational practices around intergenerational learning, with a much-needed focus on young children, but beyond platitudes and caring for quality. Further, it presents readers with a broad spectrum of provocative questions and tips not only for but from intergenerational practice in a wide range of sites, cultural contexts and countries. Overall, it is an interesting jigsaw to play with while learning about intergenerational learning, and an excellent antidote for any older-people centered intergenerational work! - Dr. Mariano Sanchez, Department of Sociology, University of Granada, Spain

There is much to love about this book. The opening passage illuminates the contours of meaning and joyful engagement between an older adult volunteer and a classroom of tuned-in 5-year-olds reading together. The following 14 chapters introduce fresh concepts, perspectives, and examples of intergenerational learning in Europe, Australia, and the U.S. My favorite highlights: an intergenerational summer camp in Italy; culturally responsive storytelling to expose Aboriginal children to indigenous language and knowledge; intergenerational play hubs created with Roma children; and some spatial concepts and considerations for designing age-inclusive public spaces. - Matthew Kaplan, Professor, Intergenerational Programs and Aging, Pennsylvania State University, USA
