Join us for a free online gathering, in partnership with House of Memories. The Intergenerational Forum is an informal space for arts & wellbeing providers to meet and share ideas around developing intergenerational practice in their services.
House of Memories is a long-standing museum dementia awareness programme developed by National Museums Liverpool to support people living with dementia through the power of objects, heritage and culture.
In 2022, a new digital resource was co-created in collaboration with young people and elders from the Liverpool Yemeni community, inspired by a young man that wanted to help his grandmother. In this presentation, Head of Programme Dawn Carroll will present an overview of the intergenerational activity and resulting app resource, as well as share the ‘lessons learned’ which were published in a community toolkit.
About the Intergenerational Forum:
This forum is an informal space for peer sharing and learning. We meet quarterly and anyone who is interested in developing their intergenerational practice is very welcome to join!
This forum is for arts and wellbeing providers who want to:
- reflect on learnings from intergenerational projects
- celebrate the successes
- discuss the challenges
- meet other people interested in sharing & developing intergenerational practice in their work
- and discuss ideas for how we can create more opportunities for intergenerational connections going forward.
Join us to share ideas, refine your intergenerational practices and meet other progressive people who are striving to innovate and excel in services for older and younger people.
