What is
an Intergenerational Program?
An intergenerational program connects people across generations through meaningful shared activities that foster
Mutual understanding
Respect
Positive Relationships
More than just playing
Whilst intergenerational programs often involve play,
they are much more than just playing.
At the heart of successful intergenerational programs is the development of positive relationships between younger and older people
Our programs are designed to provide opportunities for mutual learning across the generations.
Our programs are informed by the latest research and align with the developmental needs of all participants
Activities are tailored to build and maintain social, physical, emotional and cognitive skills for young and old
Benefits of
intergenerational programs
Intergenerational programs offer a wealth of benefits for both older adults and younger participants, fostering meaningful connections that enrich lives.
Enhanced Wellbeing
These programs combat feelings of loneliness and isolation among seniors by providing consistent social interactions, leading to improved mental health and a greater sense of purpose.

Mutual Learning
Younger participants gain invaluable insights and wisdom from their older counterparts, fostering respect and understanding between generations while enhancing their own social skills.
Community Cohesion
By bridging the generational gap, intergenerational programs strengthen community bonds, creating a more inclusive environment that values the contributions of all age groups.
Increased Engagement
Activities designed for intergenerational interaction stimulate cognitive functions in older adults and encourage active participation, promoting overall physical and emotional health.
Breaking Stereotypes
These initiatives help dismantle age-related stereotypes, fostering empathy and respect among participants, which contributes to a more harmonious society.
