| Annotation | The Second World Assembly of Ageing in Madrid in 2002 recognised the need to strengthen solidarity between generations and intergenerational partnerships, and reference by the United Nations (UN) to the concept of "a society for all ages". This study aims to show that intergenerational programmes not only help in reducing discrimination against older people, but are also a means to increasing social integration and cohesion. It introduces the concept and history of intergenerational programmes, uses examples of some organised in Spain, and explains the benefits. It answers two issues of concern to the UN: how can intergenerational programmes help to eradicate discrimination against older people; and how can intergenerational programmes help to enhance intergenerational solidarity and social cohesion? Two specific models are presented: intergenerational shared sites; and Communities for All Ages. The last two chapters discuss. professionalisation of intergenerational work, and fostering intergenerational policies. (RH) |
