Module 5: "Intergenerational Communication & Equity"

The Learning Unit “Intergenerational Communication & Equity” aims firstly to understand the term Intergenerational equity and its various applications by providing concrete examples, to address the preconceptions about the elderly and their needs as well as preconceptions that young adults struggle to battle, and at last, to offer an introduction on how exploitation technology can facilitate or challenge intergenerational equity. Directed to adult educators and trainers, the unit can also serve as an introspection into the adult educators’ own preconceptions.
With the completion of the module, the learner will have gained in-depth knowledge of the uses of intergenerational equity, he/she/they will be called to battle his/her/their own constructed misconceptions around ageism, the elderly, and youth, and will acknowledge the benefits and challenges of technology towards intergenerational equity.
The Module is addressed both to Adult Educators and Elderly Adults.
