Opis

This book examines how the process of becoming wise, and sharing wisdom, is integrally linked to older people’s wellbeing within their lifelong learning. Focusing upon a collaborative action research project, ‘Sagaciation’, chapters explore the involvement of older learners in the design and delivery of the scheme, which enabled them to expand their knowledge and skills, and to fully engage as critical and creative voices in a supportive and welcoming environment.
