Intergenerational learning refers to activities and programs that are designed to increase interaction, co-operation, and exchange of resources and learning between older and younger generations. This can mean family learning through to bespoke projects involving school children with older people in nursing homes.

 

Portraiture can act as a crucial tool in intergenerational learning through reminiscence sessions conducted by or with school children, or through family learning aimed at grandparents and grandchildren.
