One of EMIL’s main aims is to collect, exchange, and distribute resources, knowledge and expertise in the field. EMIL collects and disseminates case studies providing a systematic overview of the role and status of Intergenerational Learning (IL) across Europe. This collection of case studies provides a resource for practitioners, policy makers and researchers in the field to support the future development of IL and ensures that existing practices are well documented and disseminated. It also enables our members to highlight and publicise their work to the broader European and International community.
EMIL endeavours to highlight factors involved in both the successes and barriers each case has encountered, as well as offering possible solutions. Case studies provide relevant and useful lessons learned which others can use in their own learning and implementation processes.
The case studies can be searched by using keywords. Should you find all case studies per country, please enter the country in the search box.
