Network meetings are hosted across various locations in the Scottish Borders, as the area is widespread geographically, the location varies each time to reach communities. We welcome the inexperienced and new to intergenerational practice and those who are more experienced too. Our networks are a time to connect, share and inspire and be inspired by other likeminded people in your local community. We will also take part in activities and learn about ideas and resources that you may be able to use in your IG practice.
Scottish Borders Intergenerational Learning Roadshow September 2025
Thanks to all who came along to our Intergenerational Learning Roadshow in Galashiels on Wednesday 17th September. It was great to meet you all and hear about the wide range of intergenerational projects throughout the Scottish Borders. Thanks to Councillor Elaine Thornton-Nicol for opening the Roadshow, highlighting the importance intergenerational practice has in creating connections within our communities, and to Councillor Fay Sinclair for sharing her own experience of an intergenerational project in the Scottish Borders. Productive conversations were had throughout the morning with many sharing and reflecting on their own experiences of IG projects and how we can continue to bring different generations together to help build more cohesive communities.
