Abstract
Intergenerational learning is a form of lifelong learning. A short description of the concept of lifelong learning is included in this chapter in order for intergenerational learning to be more fully understood. Introduction of lifelong learning policies haves many practical consequences for local and regional governments. The first consequence is that lifelong learning dissolves the boundaries between policy sectors. This is because of the fact that lifelong learning concerns such sectors as education policy, labour market policy, industrial policy as well as social policy. The second consequence is a shift in responsibility for education and learning from the public to the private and civil spheres. The case of an intergenerational learning program in Sweden is presented in this chapter.
