| HPERD Challenges for the 21st Century: Aging and Intergenerational Activities |
| This workshop focuses on aging and intergenerational activities and is in three-parts. Part I discusses research on how ageism and attitudes on aging develop in childhood and exert influence on patterns for growing up and growing older. Part II focuses on Project InterActive, a service-learning project involving structured, one-on-one, intergenerational physical activity partnerships between junior/senior exercise science students and residents of the university’s independent-living retirement center. Part III will enlighten you about intergenerational service learning, its benefits, and how to promote physical activity through university-community partnerships. |
