AnnotationThe goal of the purposeful intergenerational (IG) programme described in this article was to enhance older adults' self-efficacy, or feeling of accomplishment, by facilitating their ability to share their knowledge with younger generations. Another goal was to increase young children's opportunities to express their curiosity and creativity through IG activities. The programme was a collaboration between an adult day care centre serving older adults with significant physical and/or cognitive impairment, and a child development centre serving young children aged between 15 months and five years. Themed activities in the programme included cooking, science experiments and storytelling. All the activities were powerful sources of skill building, IG interaction and self-efficacy, for both children and elders. (JL).
