Join Generations United, The Eisner Foundation, and organizations around the world to celebrate Global Intergenerational Week!

Now in its fourth year, this U.K.-based campaign led by Generations Working Together is expanding its global reach! As the U.S.-based leaders for this initiative, we invite you to sign up as a supporter and help inspire people, organizations, governments and more to fully embrace intergenerational practices connecting people of all ages, especially the younger and older generations.

Ready to share your passion about everything intergenerational? Here’s how you can participate:

  • Host an event during Global Intergenerational Week! Organizations all over the world will be hosting in-person and virtual events showcasing intergenerational programs and connections. Email chelsea.mason@eisnerfoundation.org and dderriennic@gu.org to share your plans for wider promotion.
