| Annotation | Service-learning is increasingly being used in a variety of disciplines as a means of providing students with real-life experiences with ageing and older adults. However, developing and implementing meaningful service-learning experiences requires consideration both of the discipline-specific content to be addressed, as well as the varied backgrounds (education and personal) and levels of the students who will be participating. Intergenerational service-learning is not a "one size fits all" endeavour. This paper draws on the experiences of intergenerational service learning programmes at three institutions (representing three disciplines - gerontology, nursing and occupational therapy). It focuses on the challenges of building a quality intergenerational service learning programme, as well as the associated challenges of developing appropriate intergenerational service learning experiences for a range of students with varied backgrounds.
