In our latest Village In The City podcast recording Mark McKergow will be talking to Bella Kerr from the Generations Working Together. Bella is Intergenerational Development Officer She is a very enthusiastic proponent not only of getting generations working together but of making that work high-quality and mutually useful.
This is a fascinating area where a lot of very useful difference can be made with a bit of planning and forethought. Bella will be talking about her experiences as well as giving us some top tips about how to get connection going between older and younger people. There will also be lots of resource signposting.
This event takes place during Global Intergenerational Week (24-30 April 2023) so it’s a great chance to be tuning in to the possibilities offered by this kind of programme.
This will be a podcast recording on Zoom. Joining the recording means you have the chance to ask questions of our guests and share your own experiences. The session will be an hour at most.
Open to all. Please join us if you can. Register free for the Zoom call at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/podcast-recording-bella-kerr-on-intergenerational-working-in-your-village-tickets-598319438547
