我们的世界目前正面临着巨大的挑战，需要跨代、跨学科和跨专业的解决方案，以鼓励当地的学习和行动。本文阐述了“互生”的概念，这是一个理论和实践的框架，可以建立集体智慧，激发一个充满复杂挑战的世界迫切需要的明智的地方行动。代际性在代际学校的共享场地项目中被定义和语境化，代际学校是俄亥俄州克利夫兰的一所特许学校，旨在促进代际之间的创造性交流。双方分享了过去、现在和未来研究计划的基本原理和设计，表明多年龄段伙伴关系已经开始在促进围绕气候变化和人口健康等21世纪紧迫重要挑战的学习方面发挥作用。最后，作者认为，由于代际伙伴关系的互代性，它可以成为培养社会、公民和环境责任的有力手段，并帮助当代人和子孙后代应对社会和生态挑战。
Our world is presently facing formidable challenges requiring intergenerational, interdisciplinary, and interprofessional solutions that encourage local learning and action. This article articulates the concept of "intergenerativity," a theoretical and practical framework that can build the collective wisdom and inspire the informed local action that a world addled with complex challenges so desperately needs. Intergenerativity is defined and contextualized within the shared site programs of the Intergenerational School, a charter school in Cleveland, Ohio, that aims to foster creative exchange between the generations. The rationale and design of past, present, and future research initiatives is shared, demonstrating how multiage partnerships are already beginning to play a role in fostering learning around urgently important 21st century challenges such as climate change and population health. Ultimately, it is argued that, by virtue of their intergenerative nature, intergenerational partnerships can be a powerful means of nurturing social, civic, and environmental responsibility and helping current and future generations address social and ecological challenges.
