| Annotation | Prejudices against older adults have been shown to reduce effective care delivery and to impact their long-term health outcomes. In an effort to combat these prejudices, intergenerational - and often unidirectional - programmes focus on challenging ageism. The PALETTE programme takes this further to employ collaborative activities as a way to challenge the gerontophobia that often accompanies ageism. Promoting Art for Life Enrichment Through Transgenerational Engagement (PALETTE) is an innovative programme for interprofessional undergraduate and graduate students that combines intergenerational arts activities with formal education on ageing, ageism and gerontophobia. Having demonstrated success in changing the attitudes of students, PALETTE serves as a model for an internationally replicable programme that has the potential to improve person-centered care while educating future generations of older adults about positive, optimal ageing.
