| Annotation | This paper aims to promote discussion about, and the development of the evidence-base underpinning integrated working for intergenerational working. Specifically, it draws on case experiences of the use of intergenerational reminiscence based on sporting memories to highlight issues pertaining to integrated working. The paper presents a general discussion of issues of intergenerational projects and integrated working, with case discussions of the use of sporting memories as an intervention for focusing intergenerational contact. It is concluded that intergenerational work has much to offer, but that it is far from clear how best to organise integrated working for this type of work. There are interesting lessons to be drawn for intergenerational interventions and integrated working from the case study discussions. Although case studies can provide crucial in-depth knowledge, they can be limited in developing evidence we can be sure is more generalisable across contexts. Hence, further research is required into the impact of intergenerational projects, and how best to maximise this through effective integrated working. (RH). |
