Why We Need More Intergenerational Policies, Programs, and Places
About This Episode
You've probably heard the term "multigenerational," but what about "intergenerational"? Matthew Kaplan, professor of Intergenerational Programs and Aging at Penn State University, outlines what that means for APA's editor-in-chief Meghan Stromberg, and the two discuss some of the fascinating case studies in intergenerational programming from around the world.
Matt also describes how the pandemic has forced intergenerational planners and other professionals to come up with solutions for people who must stay physically distant — a challenging hurdle for a discipline rooted in interaction.
