Engage at Every Age: When young and old connect, great things happen!

In this session, Andrew Fleck Children’s Services (Ottawa) is sharing their insights and reflections acquired over the past few years, facilitating intergenerational programming between children ages 0 – 4 and diverse older adult populations in a variety of settings. Participants have an opportunity to learn from their challenges and successes and ask questions about the early stages of developing an intergenerational program. Intergenerational programming offers a powerful opportunity to foster meaningful, everyday connections between children and older adults. Both generations benefit from time spent together, enjoying shared interests and forming lasting friendships. Rather than limiting these moments to occasional, planned visits where seniors passively observe, we’re exploring what’s possible when interactions are naturally embedded into daily routines within an early learning and care setting.
