National Conference 2017 - Embed and Sustain

We invite proposals for presentations and workshops for our next national conference taking place on Wednesday 8th March 2017, 10am – 4pm, Stirling Court Hotel – University of Stirling, Stirling, FK9 4LA

Cost: £30 per person

We are looking for proposals that meet the aims of the conference to share good practice, learn from each other, network, create new ideas for future intergenerational work and demonstrate how to successfully embed and sustain this work.

Contributions can come in different forms however we ask that they fit with one of the following themes:

  • case studies – showing how intergenerational approaches benefit younger and older people
  • Introducing new ideas for intergenerational work (we would especially like to hear from LGBT, disability and ethnic groups)
  • Embedding intergenerational practice within policy and organisational outcomes
  • Demonstrating how intergenerational work has been included in training opportunities
  • Illustrating how you are sustaining intergenerational work

GWT is keen to receive proposals or suggestions which involve younger and older people. Workshop ideas must be fully interactive encouraging delegate participation. If you have an idea and it doesn’t fit exactly please don’t be put off, we’d still be happy to talk with you.

Please submit your ideas and proposals to Alison Clyde, National Development Manager by Friday 14th October 2016. We will be back in touch if successful by Friday 28th October 2016.
