Capitolo

Interdisciplinarità e complessità. Moltiplicare sguardi nello studio dell’invecchiamento

  • Laura Formenti

The chapter develops a conceptual framework grounded in interdisciplinarity and complexity, supporting a view of ageing not only as an individual experience but as a systemic phenomenon. Lifelong learning and awareness of age-related stereotypes encourage reflection on educational and training practices as opportunities for society as a whole. This transgenerational perspective invites a deeper consideration of actions, words, and their meanings.
