| Abstract: | A willingness to explore the global stage can improve and embellish extension program
development, implementation, and evaluation methods. Understanding various models of
aging from around the world builds capacity and invites the cultivation of innovative
responses in local communities. China is instructive to those interested in expanding their perspectives of older adult programming due to its large population, aging society, culture, and political reforms. Insight into Chinese efforts and the possible applicability of that response to Extension programming is shared through observations from the Seminar in Aging conducted by the American Society on Aging in Beijing in May 2007. |
