Community Building Through Intergenerational Exchange Programs
"The report is based on a literature review and the findings of four Australian case studies: The Bankstown Oral History Project in the inner western suburbs of Sydney; The 'Radio Holiday' Project run by Big hART in rural and remote Tasmania; The School Volunteer Program based in Perth; and The Yiriman Project based in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The report concludes that successful intergenerational exchange programs display four key features: They provide opportunities for the development of relationships between generations; They have access to a range of support mechanisms; They provide opportunities for generations to do a range of things together; and They take account of program-specific issues, such as gender, culture and language."--Publisher website.

In most of sub-Saharan Africa, in contrast to other world regions, economic se...
