What do students think about this course?

‘I can't express how much I value this course and your dedication. I've been sharing my high praise for your work with everyone I know, from Venezuela to Australia. Given the lack of knowledge about intergenerational work, education is crucial. You all are doing an outstanding job! I'm thrilled that I signed up. The course is far more enriching and wonderful than I could have ever imagined. Thanks a million!

P.S. I hope to see an increasing number of people enrolling in these courses. They are beneficial for everyone!’

Marisa Toldo - Architect, Founder at SpaceYourPlace and Porto Dome (Student, ICIP Edition 5, 2024).

"All the course leaders made the course accessible and inclusive. The course is thorough and gave me enough knowledge to feel that I clearly understand what intergenerational work means. The modules are well organised with real-world examples which helped to reinforce the learning. I am truly grateful that I found this course as it has opened up a whole new scope of work for me, as I think about what is next in my career". (Student, ICIP Edition 4, 2023).

" So helpful to have real examples of how brilliant intergenerational work can be and to have given me the tools to explore how it might work in my community. Super kind and helpful tutors." (Student, ICIP Edition 4, 2023).
