ABSTRACT

This article explores the notion of and need for intergenerational learning leadership in our schools, businesses and communities. Specifically, we highlight two appreciative avenues for the cultivation of intergenerational learning leaders: modeling ourselves after our younger learners, and the active creation of more avenues to have equitable intergenerational learning opportunities across all age and experience boundaries. We also reflect on how embracing intergenerational learning leadership leads to the embodiment the principles of Appreciative Inquiry.
