ABSTRACT
Promoting intergenerational learning (IGL) is one of the 10 Age-Friendly University (AFU) principles, which facilitates the reciprocal sharing of expertise between learners of all ages. This PRISMA scoping review explored IGL initiatives involving older adults at institutions of higher education (IHE). Articles published from 2000 to 2022 were searched in the databases: CINAHL, SocINDEX, Chronicle of Higher Education, ERIC, PubMed, PsycINFO, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar. Twenty-five articles that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed. Three themes were identified: Institutional growth strategy, emerging practices, and IGL benefits. The organization’s strategic planning and policy impact the strategies used to engage older adults in IGL.
