Intergenerational learning for developing entrepreneurship and promoting active citizenship

Abstract

The most important policy documents that ha-ve shaped European cooperation in the field of economic, social and educational sciences in the last decade, and which are also bound to influence what will happen until 2020 in an in-ternational context, recognize the need for the design of a new learning model focused on personal development throughout the course of life, in the spirit of positive interdependence and reciprocity between generations.
In this milieu, it is necessary to rethink some basic tenets of pedagogical thought, which has started taking into account the age of older adults only in recent years.
Through this paper we want to test how well the medium of intergenerational learning, fo-stered by experiential learning and by analyti-cal, simulative, relational and narrative techni-ques, can lend itself to becoming an effective tool for defining new training and learning mo-dels to develop Entrepreneurship in non formal and informal contexts.
