about this workshop
Successful intergenerational programs involve thoughtful planning and consideration of strategies to create opportunities for ongoing and purposeful exchanges between different generations. Considering the diversity people involved in an intergenerational setting, sometimes the hardest part is to get everyone on the same page. Equally, under the heading "Nothing about me without me" it is imperative that every aspect of intergenerational program planning, development and evaluation include involvement of all stakeholders, including workforces, participants, carers and parents for success.
This workshop will provide participants with practical ideas about how to co-design the approach, execution and evaluation of intergenerational programs. Participants will discuss concepts such as principles of co-design, stakeholder engagement, physical and emotional ambience, and apply critical reflection to be able to "think otherwise".
key reasons to attend
· to learn more about co-design
· to learn how to apply co-design principles and critically reflect on the existing or planned intergenerational practice programs
