Within the field of intergenerational learning, the term family learning can be used to describe learning oriented activities that family members do together outside the family home for the benefit of the whole family and often the community as a whole. Examples include family groupings of different generations including children visiting a museum together (Vels Heijn, 2011), or international volunteering workcamps, where children, parents and grandparents from various countries work together on an environmental or restoration project (di Pietro, 2012).
