What is Global Intergenerational Week?
Global Intergenerational Week is a campaign connecting everyone who is passionate about everything intergenerational. 2024 is the fourth year of this amazing campaign and we are so excited by last years success and anticipate this year being bigger and better than ever! The Global Intergenerational Week aims to inspire individuals, groups, organisations, local/national government and NGO’s to fully embrace intergenerational practice, connecting people of all ages especially the younger and older generations. The campaign will celebrate good practice, ideas, moments and opportunities local to us where different age groups come together, and intergenerational friendships can be formed!
