Context:
2012 has been designated as priority year across Europe for intergenerational work by the EU. This training course has been developed to explore the ways in which youth workers can be involved in intergenerational work for 2012 with the Youth in Action program. In today’s society and in local communities, young people have limited interaction with “OLDER PEOPLE” (i.e. above retirement age). Many fixed stereotypes are held regarding “older people” and “young people”. This can result in discrimination and isolation. Intergenerational work provides an opportunity for young people to engage with older people and for older people to engage
with young people for the mutual exchange of knowledge, skills and support.
Methodology:
A creative and interactive 5-day residential training approach to explore and develop new community-based intergenerational activities.
Intergenerational work:
• Bring older and younger people together in purposeful, mutually beneficial activities;
• Breaks down barriers that exist between younger and older people in disadvantaged communities;
• Build respectful and cohesive communities which reduce social exclusion;
• Through intergenerational youth work, younger people can experience lifelong learning concept and will become more active and inclusive citizens in their community.
Objectives:
• To explore ageism and identify and challenge the prejudices and stereotypes about age;
• To raise awareness and understanding about the nature of ‘intergenerational work’ and how it fits together with the concept of lifelong learning;
• To generate some new ideas of how and what youth workers in community contexts can do at local and European levels to develop current intergenerational practice;
• To provide foundations to enable participants to: network, share intergenerational work “best practice” and promote and implement intergenerational work in their own communities within the context of the Youth in Action programme.
Costs:
30% of travel cost plus 40 Euro participation fee.
Working language: English.
SCADENZA: 9th of October 2011.
