Enough theory—it's time to roll up our sleeves and have some fun! 

In this highly interactive workshop, we'll put the morning's learning into action by creating our very own intergenerational fairytale. Starting with the magical words "Once upon a time...", participants will work together to dream up characters, challenges, adventures, and happy endings while exploring what great intergenerational practice looks like in real life. 
Expect creativity, laughter, teamwork, and maybe even a few surprises along the way. As we build our story together, you'll naturally discover how to plan activities, encourage participation, create meaningful connections, adapt to different groups, and think about outcomes—all without feeling like you're sitting through another workshop on program design! 
Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or completely new to intergenerational practice, this session is about learning by doing. You'll experience first-hand how simple ideas can spark connection, conversation, and joy across generations. 
No special talents required—just bring your imagination, a willingness to join in, and a sense of fun. 

After all, every great intergenerational journey starts the same way... 

…..And we lived happily and joyful ever after!
