Intergenerational learning is an approach to the design of experiences (e.g., informal, formal, out-of-class, in-class, etc.) that promotes learning through inclusive and collaborative engagement between younger and older adults. It can happen in a course, as part of a club, but it can occur simply through a conversation over lunch or dinner.

Research indicates that intergenerational programs provide a multitude of benefits for college students, older adults, and people of any age.
