Description
Summary:Is it possible to cultivate the human sense of old age? The contribution, from a pedagogical perspective, tries to answer a question that has all the characteristics of a social emergency as well as an educational one. And which recalls pedagogical knowledge to the assumption of a strong responsibility. The Authors explore some specific categories of old age “discourse” through pedagogical and didactic coordinates useful for rethinking the last age of life in a human sense, nourishing it with dialogues, exchanges, reciprocity. In particular, the authors trace the “place†in which elderly people can continue to become in the promotion of inter-generationality.
