Intergenerational pilots planned
Expressions of interest invited by National Youth Agency
The National Youth Agency is looking for organisations wishing to develop intergenerational work from a youth work perspective.
Their aim is to work with six Local Authority and Voluntary and Community sector organisations to develop different models of intergenerational work focusing on skill share, health, heritage and legacy, arts based initiatives.
The work will test out the scope and limitations of intergenerational work, develop evidence of what works; why it works or does not work and the barriers and the challenges presented by intergenerational work and what needs to be in place to secure positive outcomes for young people and others.
The pilots follow on from a mapping exercise of statutory and voluntary sector youth services undertaken 18 months ago which revealed that there was little intergenerational work taking place. It also showed a lack of understanding of what intergenerational work entails and how to initiate this work with young people.
A number of days free consultancy to work with selected projects and networking events will be available with the work to begin in September 2008.
To register your interest in the programme: please email Emma Shuttlewood on emmas@nya.org.uk by Friday 22nd August 2008.
