Enhancing lifelong learning through intergenerational learning

This project result (PR 2), led by Eotvos Lorand Tudomanyegyetem University will provide desk research on best practices to overcome barriers and to put into place intergenerational offers in the higher educational context. It will also develop a toolkit to propose a model for planning, implementing and evaluating intergenerational learning based on the collaboration between senior citizens and universities.

The second part of this PR will then be dedicated to the development of a methodology for co-managing online intergenerational learning offers as a particular strategy of peer learning for senior citizens and younger students.
