Global Intergenerational Week 2023

Did you know its Global Intergenerational Week this week?  Global Intergenerational Week, is a campaign connecting everyone who is passionate about everything intergenerational.  It is now in its fourth year and we are so excited as this year it is bigger and better than ever with 15 countries participating!

The week runs from 24 April – 30 April 2023 and aims to inspire individuals, groups, organisations, local/national government 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!  Check out some of the amazing NI activities on Linking Generations NI’s Campaign page Global Intergenerational Week – Linking Generations NI.

Through PHA, LGNI has provided 40 All Ages April Grants for intergenerational activities across NI to support the week.  Check out Linking Generations Facebook page here to see the amazing photos.
