Creating rich and caring environments to promote intergenerational and family learning
Description:
Adults as educators are the key for Lifelong Learning. They are the first source of learning, within the family for children, and they can also, as senior volunteers, be the support of children to enrich their informal, out of school, spaces of learning.
However, it is not easy to enter in a such complex and private world, that goes from the family to the interactions between children's care and education institutions and cultural institutions for adults education.
Within the context of the advanced training course "Adults Learning for Intergenerational Creative Experiences", this module aims to discuss about the forms of generating rich intergenerational learning environments, where adults play a role as educators, but also benefit with learning and joy from interactions with children.
Intended Learning Outcomes:
- To understand the problem of early child care, and the general problem of adults qualifications to give support to this critical phase, beyond the schooling system
- To know and to reflect upon the question of parental education, as part of a welfare strategy not only adopted in situations of risk and vulnerability but also regarding the support to the family, w
- To know and to reflect upon the question of the concept (the meaning) of intergenerational learning as guiding principle of change and innovation policies in a growing old society
- To know and to reflect on the several tools and methodologies that can be implemented to build enriched, caring environments for the interaction of generations
