Twilight Information Session: New Intergenerational Resources for the Education Sector.

Tuesday 28th January 2025, 4:00pm - 5:00pm
Online via a Teams link

To support the growth of intergenerational work within the education sector, GWT are pleased to announce a new package of support available for teachers, staff and volunteers interested in or involved in, delivering intergenerational work with school pupils.

This session will provide information about the following:

•    A new GWT Education Network which will meet online three times a year from 4pm - 6pm. The aim of the Network is to share peer experience, knowledge, and research, through discussion opportunities, bite size training and guest presentations. 
•    A programme of six weekly themed lesson plans linked to the curriculum (by Education Scotland) that prepares primary school children for engaging in intergenerational activities with older adults in sheltered housing/residential care. The weekly lesson plans can be accessed by GWT members through the GWT online Moodle platform and come with additional downloadable resources which will support the children’s learning. Please note: GWT membership is funded for individuals living and based in Scotland. 
•    Two new best practice handbooks specifically written for the education sector. 

Places must be booked below and a Teams link will be sent out prior to the event. 

All attendees will recieve a hardcopy of the new Intergenerational Guide for Primary School Education, which accompanies the online learning resources.
