Introduction

This is an exciting time to join Generations Working Together, Scotland’s national centre of excellence for intergenerational practice. In 2026, we will be celebrating both Global Intergenerational Week and hosting the Global Intergenerational Congress in Glasgow—bringing together ideas, learning, and people from around the world.

By joining our team, you will contribute to a movement that strengthens connections between generations, challenges ageism, and supports communities to create meaningful intergenerational opportunities.

Background

Intergenerational practice brings together people from different generations intentionally to build meaningful, purposeful relationships. By creating regular opportunities for shared learning, creativity, and collaboration, intergenerational work helps break down barriers, reduce ageism, and strengthen community connections.

Generations Working Together supports this work across Scotland by delivering training, providing resources, running local and thematic networks, and developing pilot projects. We connect practitioners, volunteers, and organisations, helping them share skills, develop ideas, and create community-led solutions. Through this support, we promote trust, respect, and lasting relationships between generations.
