Intergenerational learning<br />
Alan Hatton-Yeo in: Guide of Ideas for planning and implementation intergenerational<br />
projects<br />
There is a current need to promote intergenerational learning (IL) in Europe<br />
as a means to enhance intergenerational solidarity. In 2007 the European<br />
Commission (EC) encouraged EU member states to establishing a new solidarity<br />
between the generations to confronting demographic changes in Europe.<br />
EU citizens are in favour of fostering IL: according to a 2008 Eurobarometer,<br />
85% of the EU citizens consider it important to use public budgets to support<br />
initiatives and projects which bring together young and elder people.<br />
The policy initiatives that are more explicitly concerned with intergenerational<br />
learning are incorporated within recent moves to promote lifelong learning,<br />
through instruments like the European Commission‘s ‚Memorandum<br />
on Lifelong Learning”. This <strong>und</strong>erlines the need to promote a ‚cradle to grave‘<br />
culture of learning in European society, supporting seamless transitions<br />
from school through higher education and into adult and informal learning.<br />
Closely allied to this vision of continuous learning are other policy agendas,<br />
associated with skills utilization and development and with social inclusion<br />
– particularly focusing on promoting the inclusion of elder people within<br />
economic, social and cultural life. The key policy agendas shape how intergenerational<br />
learning is situated within this broader education policy landscape,<br />
including the Gr<strong>und</strong>tvig sub-action (as part of “Lifelong Learning Programme”),<br />
that <strong>und</strong>erlines the importance of generational learning by giving a<br />
specific priority to „Teaching and learning in later life; Inter-generational and<br />
family learning“.<br />
