Day 6 (29/04): Let’s Develop Intergenerational Workplaces
With fewer spaces for different generations to interact and learn from each other, the workplace now offers the most opportunities to develop intergenerational initiatives which will allow us to leverage the full potential from every generation.
We’re pleased that today’s theme is supported by @Bayer as our GIW26 Bronze Partner. For the second year running, their support is helping to expand the campaign’s global reach and impact. Through initiatives like their MERGE (Multigenerational Employee Resource Group Exchange), Bayer continues to champion the value of a multigenerational workforce.
🌐 There are a range of webinars and events taking place today exploring research, practice, and real-world examples of intergenerational workplaces.

A huge thank you to the Lord Provost and Glasgow City Chambers for hosting the Glasgow Intergenerational Learning Roadshow last week to kickstart #GIW26.
It was brilliant to see so many people join us to learn more about intergenerational practice—and how it helps connect our communities.
Thank you as well to the fantastic speakers who shared such inspiring stories of connection between generations.

Day 3 (26/04): Let’s Challenge Social Isolation and Loneliness
Social isolation and loneliness are growing challenges that require urgent attention and collective action.
As populations age, the need for meaningful connection becomes even more critical. In Scotland alone, by 2040 around 1.4 million people, nearly a quarter of the population, will be aged 65 and over.
Intergenerational approaches are part of the solution. Evidence shows that older adults who take part in intergenerational programmes can experience a significant reduction in loneliness.
Our manifesto sets out the case for embedding intergenerational approaches across policy and practice in Scotland:
