Many schools use the Centre as a teaching resource. The volunteer, teacher, and older people work together to develop a visit suitable to the children's National Curriculum needs. During the visit, older people lead discussions about the past and help children investigate how the past has influenced our own lives. Over 1400 students visited the Centre last year. Age Exchange can also visit classrooms.
Older people work in schools using reminiscence to help with lessons .
The Reminiscence Reference Library contains over 800 articles and books on the subject. Also included are the research interviews that Age Exchange has conducted with older people over 14 years. A large video collection is being catalogued and will be available for research purposes.
