The use of intergenerational and cross-cultural narratives in undergraduate social work courses is introduced, illustrated, and discussed. The focus is on material to excite and broaden the knowledge base of students by introducing cultures and an age group with whom they may not be familiar. Another goal is to present the richness and wisdom of stories that elders from various ethnicities have to tell in order to overcome stereotypes of aging and promote positive intergenerational relationships on a personal and professional level. For practice, policy, and Human Behavior in the Social Environment courses, examples are given of readings, films, a song, and specific assignments.
