The University of Maryland, mentioned in the last post, isn't the only academic institution working to study and improve intergenerational relationships.

Another impressive resource for encouraging intergenerational relationships is the University of Pennsylvania's Cooperative Extension System. In addition to their online library of articles, published research, and program ideas, this comprehensive site is also the place to learn about intergenerational programs all over the world. In fact, I highly recommend their Global Perspective page as the beginning point of a thorough exploration of this extremely interesting site.
