For three consecutive years, the Age-Friendly Design Committee (AFDC) of the Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education (AGHE) used AGHE's annual meeting as a platform to conduct community-based service-learning workshops focusing on age-friendly design. These workshops assembled local stakeholders, conference attendees from multiple disciplines, and landscape and architectural designers to discuss age-friendly design issues and solutions for local environments. Each workshop provided hands-on design experience and the opportunity for AGHE participants to contribute to conference host communities by using their gerontological expertise to translate knowledge into practice. Local stakeholders learned the value of gerontological input when considering design issues. We describe the process of incorporating service-learning into the conference experience through age-friendly design workshops and how these bring together students, faculty, and design professionals from different backgrounds and disciplines to address local age-friendly design issues.
连续三年，高等教育老年学学会（AGHE）的友好型设计委员会（AFDC）利用AGHE的年会作为平台，举办以友好型设计为重点的社区服务学习工作坊。这些工作坊召集了当地利益相关者、来自多个学科的会议参与者以及景观和建筑设计师，以讨论当地环境中的友好型设计问题和解决方案。每个工作坊都提供了实践设计经验，让AGHE的参与者有机会利用他们的老年学专业知识将知识转化为实践，为会议主办社区做出贡献。当地利益相关者在考虑设计问题时了解到老年学投入的价值。我们描述了通过友好型设计工作坊将服务学习融入会议体验的过程，以及这些工作坊如何将来自不同背景和学科的学生、教师和设计专业人员聚集在一起，以解决当地的友好型设计问题。
