Everyone seems to be talking about intergenerational practice these days—and for good reason. Bringing younger and older generations together can reduce loneliness, build stronger communities, challenge age stereotypes, and create moments of genuine joy. But if you're thinking, "This sounds great, but where on earth do I start?" then this workshop is for you.

Designed for beginners and experienced practitioners alike, this practical and engaging workshop will help you turn enthusiasm into action. We'll unpack what intergenerational practice actually is (and isn't), explore different ways it can be delivered, and share the ingredients that make programs meaningful, safe, and successful.

Expect plenty of real-world examples, lively discussion, practical tips, and opportunities to learn from others who are on the same journey. We'll cover planning, partnerships, facilitation, safeguarding, co-design, evaluation, and everything in between—without drowning you in jargon.

You'll leave with new ideas, useful resources, greater confidence, and a clearer sense of how to create intergenerational opportunities that are more than just a nice visit or one-off activity.
Whether you work in aged care, early childhood, schools, community services, local government, health, research, or simply have a passion for connecting generations, this workshop will give you the tools to get started.
Come curious. Leave inspired. Go home with a plan.
