Key messages class="unordered" style="list-style-type:disc">Demographic shifts towards more elderly and ecological disturbances with associated economic and social stresses are two major trends in the world that affect the health of human populations.Intergenerational learning in innovative public schools represents an important organisation innovation to address these challenges.Healthcare delivered in such a school can improve both individual and public health as well as improve learning and create collective wisdom.Why this matters to meGlobal climate change threatens the survival of our communities and even our species and others. The ageing of the world's populations, often viewed as a crisis, is also an opportunity. Human learning and imagination have been, and continue to be, the distinct strengths of our species. Intergenerational learning is one way, perhaps the best way, to foster collective wisdom and innovation. Such education is necessary for cultural and evolutionary change to continue in a manner in which sentience continues to emerge as a selective advantage.
