AnnotationThe author outlines learning and good practice across Europe on the deployment of asset-based approaches for promoting active ageing and intergenerational solidarity. He draws on a wide-ranging review of good practice across Europe distilled from desktop analysis and two European roundtable sessions with key stakeholders. He analyses the current level of volunteering by older people across Europe, and the evidence for its benefits to their health and wellbeing. An analysis and good practice examples provide resources for developing effective asset-based approaches to promoting active ageing and intergenerational solidarity, or for addressing the social exclusion faced by people with dementia.
