Although I’m sad that my term as a trustee @LuminateScot, Scotland’s creative ageing organisation, is ending, it’s been a genuine privilege to have had that opportunity. If you can connect and work with @LuminateScot, do. If you ever get a chance to join a charity’s board, do!
What a week of all things #intergenerational! East and Midlothian IG network meeting, GWT's info and feedback on #communitysafety participatory research project, Fa'side Women and Girls' Group - Gender Budgeting planning session, community celebration planning with @rosshigh too
Do you need a boost? Do you feel like springtime should bring hope? Me too! Check out this video shared by GWT & sign up to #GIW24 to share far more hope / joy. #intergenerational work makes a real difference in all communities. @CormacRussell @LoreenPardoe @Rights_Real

The interesting thing abt taking an #intergenerational approach is recognising how many issues fit within. The experiences our children have in their early years, the connection to nature and to those who support and mentor them. Essential time spent focused on relationships.

Read what can be done in Scotland to tackle ageism and build a society that values, respects and enriches individuals of all ages. #SeeAndBeSeen generationsworkingtogether.org/resources/gwt-…
Re-studying International Certificate of Intergenerational Practice with @GenerationsWT is a real joy. Updated material and an incredible group of fellow-learners from Canada to Australia. 3 from East Lothian within the community of tutors and students - all inspiring each other!
#GWTRoadshow started in Glasgow and was a huge success. With thanks to @S_A_B_S_ @LordProvostGCC @Jcarescot, Calderwood Primary School and all who made it along, for their support. Lots of great #intergenerational discussions. Next stop Dundee! generationsworkingtogether.org/events/interge…
PLEASE let your MSPs know about this film showing on Wed 6th (MSP email addresses on theyworkforyou.com/scotland/). It tells of Denmark's success in promoting wellbeing, including - of course - a kindergarten stage. @KateJohnston3 @GiveTimeScot @JonoLesley @DawnEwan5 @suzannezeedyk
One of the aspects of IG work is recognising impact of decisions on generations. Learning from mistakes and exploring social and cultural history helps us do better.

Talking saves lives and we need to be honest about our mental health. It’s alright for boys and men to cry. #InternationalMensDay
There is nothing fluffy abt #intergenerational work; quite the opposite. It's also why developing good practice matters, to ensure everyone has the max benefit from engaging. W.H.O. have already identified #intergenerational interventions to be 1 of 3 actions to tackle ageism.

Inspiration from the wonderful #intergenerational leads at @AHN_Ed_Training highlighting the power of stories and reading together. Perfect to share in #BookWeekScotland . .
