摘要：Intergenerational learning is an important part of lifelong learning. It fosters reciprocal learning relationships between people of all ages, promoting a greater understanding between generations. This article explores the nature of intergenerational practice and its place in social policy developments, particularly those around ‘social cohesion’ and ‘sustainable communities’. This theme is developed by examining: first, the literature on intergenerational practice; second, its potential benefits; third, the potential of intergenerational practice for neighbourhood renewal and regeneration; and fourth, examples of intergenerational practice at the community level. The article concludes by discussing implications of the findings for policy, practice and research.
