Young and Old: Teacher’s Guide - Promoting a Positive Attitude to Ageing and Older People

Young and Old has been specifically designed for use in the context of the new Social, Personal and Health Education (SPHE) curriculum.

It covers seven different themes on ageing and older people at each of the four levels in primary school and includes different strategies for active learning which are used to explore facts, figures, and attitudes.

There are also exercises designed to stimulate classroom discussion and activities to encourage contact and communication between children and older people
