Intergenerational practice is vital to our ageing population today as younger and older people are becoming increasingly disconnected due to the breakdown of community services.
Intergenerational practice aims to promote well-being by building on relationships, shifting negative attitudes around ageing, and improving community cohesion between younger and older people.
This practice also addresses loneliness and anti-social behaviour, which is commonly experienced with those who are older.
Intergenerational practice can be any activity that brings together people of any generation.
