AnnotationCommunity service-learning in schools in the US, and increased awareness of the interdependence of the generations, has heightened interest in intergenerational programming. While there is agreement that service learning results in substantial educational opportunities, too often the result is training, or reflection, but not pro-active ageing education. Therefore, students have little sustainable understanding of the older adults with whom they are interacting. This paper discusses what ageing education should include, why it is not consistently being taught, and how to integrate ageing education into existing curricula and age-appropriate skill development.
