This article focuses on two main sources, Hans-Georg Gadamer's "Truth and Method" and the anecdotal findings of a seminar on intergenerational dialogue at the Ruprecht-Karls-University of Heidelberg, to explain experience as a precursor to knowledge and to link transdisciplinary and intergenerational communication as pathways to dialectical experience and thus to new ideas and knowledge. Furthermore, an action-learning approach is presented as a practical way to develop transdisciplinary and intergenerational communication skills, due to the necessity of 'making experience' and the impossibility of 'learning experience'.
