What is Global Intergenerational Week?
Global Intergenerational Week is a campaign connecting everyone who is passionate about all things intergenerational. 2024 marked the fourth year of this inspiring campaign, building on the success of previous years. The Global Intergenerational Week aimed to inspire individuals, groups, organisations, local and national governments, and NGOs to embrace intergenerational practice by connecting people of all ages, especially younger and older generations. The campaign celebrated good practices, ideas, moments and opportunities where different age groups came together and meaningful intergenerational friendships were formed.
