Planning & Leading Intergenerational Activities

Bringing different generations together isn’t just a nice idea — it’s a powerful way to support wellbeing, build connection, and create moments of joy. This course is designed for activity coordinators and care staff working with older adults, including those living with dementia, who want to run safe, meaningful intergenerational sessions. You’ll learn how to plan and deliver activities that work for both generations — whether that’s babies and toddlers, primary-age children, or teenagers. We’ll explore the evidence behind intergenerational care, how it supports people living with dementia, and how to manage practicalities like consent, safeguarding, and communication. This training is built for real-world care settings and includes step-by-step guidance, printable templates, and a list of inclusive, dementia-friendly activity ideas. Whether you’re starting fresh or developing what you already offer, you’ll finish the course with the confidence and tools to build a programme that’s thoughtful, respectful, and enriching for everyone involved.
