DP2// Research

Temple University has an intergenerational center with programs and resources aimed at "connecting generations to strengthen communities." Here's the site.

I found an article here about an art program for both seniors and a kids' club.


A poster for an intergenerational learning project at DCU.  A group blog written by the participants of the program can be found here.

Turns out we just missed Intergenerational Day/Week but the site still has some helpful information.


Generations United 's mission is "to improve the lives of children youth and older people through intergenerational collaboration, public policies, and programs for the enduring benefit for all." 




Last week at Occupy DC I encountered an awesome group called the Raging Grannies.  Upon doing more research, I've discovered that the Raging Grannies are a well-organized group with chapters across the world.  They even have a tumblr! Here's a video of a South Florida group singing a song they wrote about CBS:




I don't know how this relates to our project exactly, but I know that these ladies are awesome and inspiring!
