Intergenerational Programs by Matthew Kaplan
The authors identify a rich geographically diverse set of intergenerational programs and activities that serve a wide range of human and community development objectives. Beyond promoting intergenerational understanding among participants, these initiatives function to help people to pursue their educational objectives, arts and recreation interests, desired states of health and welfare, environmental preservation and community development goals, and religious and spiritual well-being. Intergenerational endeavors constitute an integral approach for supplementing familial support systems and maintaining social cohesion in Japan as it enters the twenty-first century.
"There are flashes in this book that illuminate the profound differences between a traditional homogenous society like Japan and a relatively new, non-homogenous society like the United StatesReading about intergenerational issues in Japan allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the similarities and differences between U.S. and Japanese culture." — Robert Disch, Hunter College, City University of New York
