Intergenerational learning enables intellectually vibrant elderly people who reside in an assisted-living facility to enrich the lives of university students by demystifying old age. More specifically, a structured program of classroom-like activities and personal relationship-building debunks stereotypes of old age and teaches the students to value people for who, rather than how old, they are.
