Intergenerational Learning at Seniora: The Value and Practice of Cross-Generational Interaction

As societies age, the gap between children and older adults becomes increasingly apparent. Intergenerational Learning (IGL) offers an educational model that facilitates structured interaction and collaborative learning between generations, enabling mutual growth in cognitive, emotional, and social capacities.

In this model, children learn respect, empathy, and care through interaction with older adults, while also developing social and emotional skills. Meanwhile, older adults maintain mental vitality, enhance social participation, and experience a renewed sense of being needed and connected to society. This two-way learning and companionship help strengthen community cohesion and social integration.

Seniora recognizes the importance of intergenerational learning and has made cross-generational interaction a core principle in our center planning and program design. Through structured learning activities and a safe community environment, we provide children and older adults with consistent and sustainable opportunities for interaction, making intergenerational learning not only feasible but also sustainable.

Evidence shows that systematic and sustained intergenerational learning can support community education and active aging initiatives. Seniora is committed to promoting this concept in every community, enabling different generations to grow together through meaningful interactions, achieving both educational and social care value.

💡 Conclusion

Intergenerational learning is not just an educational approach—it is a social strategy. By respecting the value of different age groups and designing sustainable interaction mechanisms, we can create more inclusive communities where every stage of life is recognized and valued.
