No. 202 | Community Connections: Intergenerational Links in Art Education
Angela M. La Porte, Editor
Intergenerational programs have become widespread since the mid-20th century, emphasizing "activities that increase cooperation and exchange between any two generations. Typically, they involve interaction between young and old in which there is a sharing of skills, knowledge, and experience" . They developed in response to concerns that different age groups had become socially isolated from one another. Sociologists and gerontologists became convinced of the social and psychological benefits of intergenerational activities, such as elevated self-esteem and sense of autonomy among seniors and improved attitudes of each age cohort towards the other.
