The Oxford Handbook of Intergenerational Connections

Beschreibung

The need to develop connections between members of different generations is being driven by a host of trends and challenges. This handbook presents what is known about the spectrum of intergenerational initiatives in the United States and abroad. It addresses specifically what increases cooperation, interaction, or exchange between any two (or more) generations and how to foster the sharing of skills, knowledge, or experience between old and young.
