Evaluating intergenerational projects and programmes (Closed Session)

Thursday 27th November 2025, 1:30pm - 4:30pm
Online via Zoom

Please note, this is a closed session, open only for members of the Whole Family Wellbeing Programme in Highlands.

In the recent World Health Organisations (WHO) guidance document, ‘Connecting Generations’, the WHO states that ‘Evaluation is a vital part of any intergenerational project and is conducted throughout to track how well the project achieved its aims and outcomes, to indicate areas for improvement and to fulfil reporting obligations to stakeholders and funders’.

Evaluating intergenerational work is essential for understanding what works, identifying areas for improvement, justifying funding and resources, informing policy and practice and also equally important, evaluation enables us to give value to what takes place when we bring different generations together. Yet despite the importance of evaluation, it is frequently seen as just one person’s responsibility and is often not even considered as part of the planning process.

This 3 hour tutor led online training session is designed to help individuals and organisations involved in intergenerational work, to measure and evidence the impact of this approach, upon participants, support staff and the wider community. The session explores the steps for effective evaluation, provides an overview of outcomes and indicators and then offers a range of simple tools for practitioners to take away and use. Please note: this training takes place on Zoom.

This session will help practitioners to:

·       Understand the importance of evaluation and how it can be applied in an intergenerational work context

·       Identify the potential outcomes and indicators for intergenerational projects or programmes

·       Choose effective evaluation methods and how to involve others in the evaluation process

To improve the development and sustainability of intergenerational programmes, we strongly recommend that two leads from each partnering organisation undertakes evaluation training.

This training has been funded for Highland members of the Whole Family Wellbing Programme.
