GWT's team work tirelessly to build and strengthen relationships with individuals, academics, groups, charities (NGOs) and organisations from across the world including:

  • Apples and Honey Nightingale (AHN)

    is an intergenerational pre-school and day care with a Jewish ethos. Based around a large, green and secure garden setting, they are the UK’s first intergenerational nursery. In their own bungalow within the grounds of Nightingale House, a care home for older people, the children develop a deeper understanding of the human life cycle and respect for others from their daily interactions with their older friends at Nightingale.

  • Australian Institute for Intergenerational Practice (AIIP)

    The overall purpose of AIIP is to re-connect communities through the development, implementation and evaluation of intergenerational programs.

    AIIP is one of our first country leads to take part in our Global Intergenerational Week campaign 2022.

  • Beth Johnson Foundation (BJF)

    is a national charity dedicated to making a future for all ages. They want everyone to enjoy a great later life, which means as a society we need to make changes at a strategic and practical level.

    BJF are part of the Executive Team leading on this year’s Global Intergenerational Week Campaign for 2022.

  • Catedra Macrosad de Estudios Intergeneracionales

    GWT has built a strong working relationship with Dr. Mariano Sanchez, Macrosad Chair in Intergenerational Studies at the University of Granada, Spain. Together we deliver an eight week online Intergenerational training course for anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of intergenerational work, its purpose, impact and practical application to enable them to apply this within their own work.
