Description

Intergenerational Play: A right for all generations. Disconnection is an increasing phenomenon across all generations. Intergenerational play is a connecting force to exchange values, knowledge, skills, traditions and ideas. While intergenerational programs exist, missing is understanding of what intergenerational play actually is, how it can be encouraged and identified benefits for all participants. This project will: 1) engage with leading researchers to understand intergenerational play globally; 2) develop an online repository of examples; 3) develop guiding principles for intergenerational play to focus on outcomes for all participants; 4) implement, document and test principles in intergenerational play programs in Australia; and 5) inform future programs and policies.. Scheme: ARC Future Fellowships. Field: 3903 - Education Systems. Lead: Prof Lisa Kervin
