Impact Report: 2025

In just five years, Global Intergenerational Week has grown from
a small but ambitious idea into something truly global - a movement
uniting voices, communities, and changemakers across generations
and continents.
This year marked an important step forward. For the first time,
we welcomed a global sponsor- Bayer AG- who supported new
partners in the Global South and helped spotlight intergenerational
workforces. During the week of 24-30 April 2025, events took place
across the globe- in schools, workplaces, care homes, community
spaces, and online. A vibrant mix of local gatherings and live virtual
events brought people of all ages together to learn, share, and
celebrate the power of intergenerational connection.
At its heart, intergenerational practice is about building relationships.
It creates space for empathy, mutual respect, and the sharing of skills,
stories, and experiences. It can break down harmful stereotypes,
tackle loneliness, and help us see the value each generation brings.
When we create these connections, we don’t just support individuals -
we strengthen communities.
Global Intergenerational Week helps shine a light on this work.
It amplifies local voices, sparks global conversations, and helps
grow a network of people and organisations committed to bringing
generations together in meaningful ways. This year, we saw
extraordinary examples of innovation, care, and community - and we’re
excited to share some of those highlights with you in this report.
As our populations continue to age, and as loneliness and isolation
remain pressing challenges, it’s never been more important to think
and act intergenerationally. Awareness is just the start - the real task
is to embed intergenerational approaches into the way we design
policies, build communities, and shape our future.
Thank you to everyone who helped make GIW25 what it was.
This report shares a snapshot of the inspiring activities, partnerships,
and stories that emerged during GIW25. It highlights how
intergenerational initiatives can transform lives and communities,
offering practical examples and reflections from around the world.
Yours sincerely,
Alison Clyde, CEO Generations Working Together

For the first time, in 2025, Generations Working Together was able to
welcome a Global Intergenerational Week sponsor.
We were delighted and proud that the global life sciences company,
Bayer AG, chose to sponsor the 2025 campaign. This enabled GWT
to widen our worldwide reach and engagement.
With core competencies in healthcare and agriculture, Bayer is
committed to driving sustainable development and generating positive
impact with its mission Health for All, Hunger for None.
Via its generations-focussed Business Resource Group called MERGE
(Multigenerational Employee Resource Group Exchange), in 2025,
Bayer was also celebrating #GIW25 for the third year running.
Bayer supported three Global South countries’ participation by funding
the Country Lead role, letting GWT provide them with free GIW25
support, a year’s membership and intergenerational training.
We put the word out to our international partners. We are grateful for
their help in identifying potential NGOs in the Global South for the role,
one each in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
We went on to invite into the GIW family –
• Instituto Kairós – Brazil, Latin America
• MANEPO (The Malawi Network of Older Persons’
Organisations) – Malawi, Africa
• MGIMS (Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences) –
India, Asia.
Bayer, with its focus on maximising the potential of all generations in
its own workforce, also sponsored our Day 6 Theme ‘Let’s Develop
Intergenerational WorkPlaces’ and Bayer’s Loek Hageman opened our
webinar that day.
Our thanks to Bayer for their support.

Our 17 country leads delivered a fantastic programme of events, each adding their own unique
spin to the week, making for an exciting and diverse campaign. Hear from our leads below!
Australia Australian Institute for Intergenerational Practice
During Global Intergenerational Week 2025, the Australian
Institute for Intergenerational Practice (AIIP) led a dynamic and
inclusive campaign that engaged communities across Australia
and internationally. The week featured a live “Sing and Dance Around
the World” online event that brought people of all ages together across
time zones, highlighting the joy of music and movement.
AIIP also launched a toolkit to raise awareness about ageism and a
special resource for ANZAC Day, encouraging connections between
generations. A social media campaign spotlighted loneliness and
social isolation, complemented by an international webinar with
expert speakers from WHO and other global organisations, exploring
the benefits and challenges of creating intergenerational spaces.
The initiative also promoted intergenerational connections around
sustainability, workplaces, and quality standards, with AIIP introducing
its new Australian Standards and Self-Assessment Booklet to guide best

Brazil Instituto Kairós
In Brazil, Global Intergenerational Week 2025 unfolded
through a powerful series of intergenerational and place‑based
encounters in the rural community of Lapinha da Serra (Santana
do Riacho, Minas Gerais), located in the Espinhaço mountain range.
The week began with a “Seed Walk” in partnership with the local public
school, where children and masters of oral tradition visited community
backyards, exchanged stories, and collected native Cerrado seeds —
deepening connections between generations, heritage, and the land.
On April 25, children immersed themselves in traditional woodwork
with master artisan and storyteller “Teco,” exploring tools, techniques,
and memories that transform wood into works of art. The celebrations
concluded on April 29 with a symbolic planting of the collected seeds,
led by Mr. Zé Alves, son of a centenarian herbalist, passing on ancestral
knowledge and reaffirming the vital link between heritage, generations,
and the future.

Canada Volunteer Canada
In Canada, Global Intergenerational Week 2025 featured a
dynamic mix of virtual and in‑person events that fostered
connections across generations. From Elder Abuse Prevention
Ontario’s “Aging Vibrantly” podcast exploring ageism and community
solidarity, to GoodLinks’ virtual series spotlighting the strength of
intergenerational relationships, the celebrations embraced a rich
diversity of stories and insights. Intergénérations Québec hosted a
public panel, “Discussions croisées sur les enjeux intergénérationnels,”
sharing research and lived experience across generations, while
Alberta’s Nord‑Bridge Seniors Centre brought students and seniors
together for a creative afternoon of music and crafts. National efforts
led by Volunteer Canada connected corporate teams and community
partners through virtual and in‑person volunteering, including a
card‑writing initiative for seniors and a webinar on reimagining how
generations learn and serve together. Together, these events reflected
a deep and lasting commitment to nurturing mutual understanding,
knowledge sharing, and belonging across all ages throughout Canada.
England Gen-All
In England, Global Intergenerational Week 2025 brought
together a dynamic programme of events that celebrated
connections across generations and inspired new ways of
working together.
It was exciting to see organisations like NAPA, which had worked
alongside the initiative in the past, now join Gen‑All to host an
online round‑table webinar. This event spotlighted leaders in the
intergenerational field and inspired their extensive membership to
get involved in GIW25. Another highlight was the official launch of
the Gen‑All brand and its accompanying video, which received an
overwhelmingly positive response from across the sector.
England also spotlighted the importance of quality intergenerational
training, partnering with Macrosad (Spain) and Generations Working
Together (Scotland) to showcase a collaborative approach rooted in
inclusivity and cooperation across borders. It was inspiring to hear how
the Intergenerational Quality Indicators toolkit evolved throughout
the year, and the impact it has had on those participating in its pilot
projects.
The highlight of the week came with the Age‑Friendly Awards
afternoon and ceremony, when InCommon opened its annual awards
to the whole of England, creating a unique moment to come together
and celebrate the achievements of intergenerational organisations
and champions across the country.

India Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (MGIMS)
In India, the Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences
(MGIMS) led a dynamic programme of intergenerational
activities throughout the week. Highlights included the 2
GenZ Sports Day, where children and elders played together to build
teamwork and trust, and collaborative art and craft sessions that
sparked creativity across generations.
A cultural programme brought music, dance, and storytelling to the
heart of rural communities, while elderly–children meetups and
old age home visits created moments of connection and belonging
for those living alone. Awareness activities — from street plays and
village rallies to a national webinar on ageism and intergenerational
programming — engaged people of all ages across Maharashtra.
Additional highlights featured a “Walk in My Shoes” exercise, a
sustainability session sharing traditional ecological knowledge, and
training for healthcare staff to foster more age‑inclusive services.
Together, these events celebrated intergenerational connections,
strengthened community ties, and embodied MGIMS’ commitment to
building a more inclusive, understanding society.
Ireland DCU Age-Friendly University
In Ireland, DCU Age‑Friendly University led a diverse
programme for Global Intergenerational Week 2025, focusing
on building connections across generations. The celebrations
started with a policy session by Alison Bough (AGE Platform Europe),
exploring the role of intergenerational dialogue in EU policymaking,
and featured the work of Foróige and the Alzheimer Society of Ireland
to empower young people as advocates for inclusive communities.
Highlights included a Paint‑Along Workshop, a Tea Time Dance Night
with Localise Youth Volunteering, and an Intergenerational Games
Night in partnership with Hasbro — all fostering joy and belonging
across ages. A Buddy Bench Project and Digital Skills Clinic promoted
everyday connections, while a Virtual Workshop on Intergenerational
Fairness addressed climate, economic, and equity issues, with
outcomes shared with the European Commission.
Through these events, DCU AFU celebrated and strengthened its role in
creating inclusive, age‑friendly spaces where all generations can learn,
connect, and thrive together.

Greece National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece
In Greece, the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens
(NKUA) led a dynamic programme for Global Intergenerational
Week 2025 (#GIW25), highlighting the role of intergenerational
connections in building strong, resilient communities.
Highlights included a webinar on April 26 titled “Let’s Combat
Loneliness and Social Isolation – Mission ‘ANTHROPOS’,” exploring
ways intergenerational efforts can reduce isolation among older
adults. On April 29, a university lecture focused on “Intergenerational
Programs as Part of the School Curriculum,” emphasising the value
of embedding cross‑age learning in education. The week concluded
on April 30 with a live event at the 6th Primary School of Marousi in
Athens, showcasing how intergenerational practice can foster empathy,
solidarity, and belonging across ages.
Through these events, Greece reaffirmed its commitment to using
intergenerational connections to build stronger communities and a
more inclusive society.
Israel Kesher Ben Dori in cooperation with Bar Ilan University
Israel’s Global Intergenerational Week 2025 featured
a comprehensive and thought-provoking webinar that
connected academic experts, government representatives,
and intergenerational practitioners. Hosted by Kesher Ben Dori, the
event attracted participants from universities nationwide alongside
key officials from the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Welfare.
Highlights included a dynamic session on youth activism aimed at
combating ageism in online spaces, and a showcase of England’s
AHN (Ageing and Health Network) program—a valued last-minute
collaboration that brought international perspectives to the discussion.
Attendees also engaged in a conversation with the director of the
program responsible for evaluating and monitoring social initiatives
funded by Israeli Social Security, in which Kesher Ben Dori plays an
active role. The event honored the legacy of the late Prof. Yoram
Maaravi, a foundational figure in Israel’s intergenerational movement,
whose work inspired much of the country’s progress in this field.
A key takeaway from the webinar was the critical importance of
designing and implementing well-structured intergenerational
programs. Without careful planning and oversight, initiatives risk
unintentionally perpetuating ageist stereotypes. Thoughtful, inclusive
programming is therefore essential to foster meaningful, respectful,
and positive intergenerational connections that benefit all participants.

Mexico CórimAZ
Mexico’s contribution to Global Intergenerational Week
2025 featured three key events that celebrated the power of
intergenerational connection. The traditional WRAD (World
Rocks Against Dementia) concert highlighted music as a vital tool
for wellbeing, especially for people living with dementia. Psychology
students from Universidad Iberoamericana gathered with elders to
share experiences from intergenerational programs, fostering joyful
exchanges and wisdom-sharing. An international online event, “More
Than ‘Nice’: Intergenerational Practice as Essential,” brought together
voices from Spain, Uruguay, Chile, and Mexico to reflect on the deeper
impact of intergenerational work. For the first time, Mexico also
began engaging government representatives to explore integrating
intergenerational approaches into public policy, signalling a strong
commitment to advancing these practices both locally and globally.
New Zealand Generations Connect NZ
As a small, volunteer-led organisation new to Global
Intergenerational Week, New Zealand’s involvement in GIW25
significantly boosted awareness about the importance of
intergenerational connections. The campaign featured an in-person event
held just before the official week, showcasing a well-established local
intergenerational program that has fostered meaningful relationships
between generations over several years. Alongside this, three virtual
events connected New Zealanders with the wider global intergenerational
community, overcoming geographical and logistical challenges. These
sessions offered opportunities for learning, sharing best practices, and
fostering collaboration beyond borders. Together, these activities laid a
strong foundation for growing engagement in intergenerational work within
New Zealand and helped build valuable local and international networks,
which the organisation aims to nurture and expand in future years.
Malawi MANEPO
Malawi’s participation in Global Intergenerational Week 2025
was led by the Malawi Network of Older Persons’ Organisations
(MANEPO), a coalition committed to ensuring dignity and
inclusion for older adults. The week featured community-focused
activities aimed at bridging generational divides and fostering mutual
respect. A key event was an intergenerational dialogue in Chemusa,
Blantyre, where youth and elders openly discussed challenges like
unemployment, ageism, and social exclusion, building empathy and
understanding. In Balaka and Thyolo, digital literacy training empowered
older adults through skills shared by younger generations, enhancing
their access to digital services. Meanwhile, in Zomba, Balaka, and
Machinga, young volunteers collaborated in health monitoring initiatives
to support older people’s wellbeing, strengthening intergenerational
care and responsibility. These efforts raised awareness about the value
of intergenerational relationships and created lasting opportunities for
cooperation and community cohesion across Malawi.

in partnership with the Northern Ireland Commissioners. Through their
All Ages April small grants scheme, they supported 30 intergenerational
projects across schools, care homes, community groups, and youth
organisations. One of the highlights of the week was an Intergenerational
Policy Roundtable at Queen’s University Belfast, co-hosted with Age
NI and the Commissioners for Older People and Children. The event
brought together participants of all ages to explore how intergenerational
approaches can inform policy on poverty, education, care, and rights, and
helped shape guiding principles for future intergenerational advocacy in
Northern Ireland.

GIW25 Motion debated
in Scottish Parliament
A motion was submitted to Scottish Parliament to have a member’s
debate hosted to mark and raise the importance of Global
Intergenerational Week. This is what participating MSPs had to say.
“ 
I want to use today’s
debate to talk about why
there is still a case for
intergenerational learning
and for different generations
to learn from one another.
It not only teaches new
information and skills, but
provides opportunities
to challenge stereotypes
and misconceptions, with
ageism against both young
and old being a particular
problem.”
Jackie Dunbar MSP
“ 
If we can establish the tangible
value of such organisations
and the work that they do,
and price it into Government
policy, we will be well on
the way to building a better
network and system for
intergenerational working
across our country.”
Paul Sweeney MSP, Glasgow
“ 
There is a real opportunity for
us to work together, to train
together and to engage in
projects together, all of which
will make a difference when
it comes to intergenerational
issues.”
