Old people, students and a space in between - intergenerational social cultural work in practice-oriented teaching
For years, students and older people performed theater together, filmed, learned and generated knowledge. This continuous interweaving of university teaching and practice in the field of community theater with older people is unique in Germany.
A small research team investigated the cooperation between the Alice Salomon University of Applied Sciences Berlin and the Theater of Experience. The results will now be presented and discussed in the context of the further development of intergenerational formats.
