is the nationally recognised centre of excellence supporting the development and integration of intergenerational work across Scotland. Our mission is to develop, expand and improve IG practice nationwide. Our vision is to live in a Scotland where different generations are more connected, where everyone has opportunities to build relationships that help to create a more inclusive society.Intergenerational work means relationship-based projects, activities and events where people of differentgenerations, who might not otherwise meet, do things together in positive and creative ways. It includes anyactivities which purposefully ignore, remove or break down social, environmental, cultural or institutionalbarriers between generations e.g. ageism, making spaces for older & younger people to meet naturally, get toknow each other, share ideas, pass on &/or learn new skills, work together to identify solutions toproblems, addressing challenges in their communities, all the while forging relationships and friendships.An intergenerational lens can also be applied to the workplace which can now have up to five generational cohortswithin. Organisations are considering the impact of this and are questioning whether they have the rightpolicies, processes and ethos in place to support their diverse expectations. Applying an intergenerational lensto the workplace provides an opportunity to consider the benefits that come from diverse generationalgroups.As a membership and capacity-building organisation, GWT operate locally and nationally raising awareness, sharing andexpanding knowledge and understanding of intergenerational practice and its impact. We provide training andwide-ranging resources and organise learning events and facilitate local and thematic networking opportunities,to enable high quality intergenerational activity to take root on the ground & flourish.

We also participate in research projects and scan relevant research taking place across the worldfor distilling and sharing with our members and others.A short film narrated by our retired chair Alan Hatton-Yeo MBE can be viewed here on our YouTube channel
