@lori_gwt "Brings so much more than a smile to the lips". #intergenerational focus in & through schools recognises that intergenerational relationships, learning & living is essential. It brings curriculum to life
Lovely to see glimpses of Dirleton Primary School & Day Centre

Our ‘Caring to the Core’ Social Enterprise continues as we juice the apple harvest and spend a little profit on our travel to the Day Centre. An uplifting afternoon of intergenerational reading with our wonderful friends 📚🍎🍏

Episode 50 - Mark MacNicol @CCCScot https://t.co/oqomt7Klnp via @YouTube

So impressed by the action taken - by both men - to make a difference and change the cycle of intergenerational trauma.

Primary aged children's poetry workshop.

Creativity & sensitivity together. Simply beautiful & very poignant.

Process - with adults + time -> exploration -> output -> enjoy learning together

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

Poetry workshops in 2 primary schools with @historyworkstv today. I was drawn to some phrases that the children wrote:
'leaves fly free' (in a poem about refugees - we were talking about metaphors)
'midnight silence' - a time-sound image
and
'misty cold' - a sight-feeling image

[JustLoreen @haylori1]

@MichaelRosenYes @historyworkstv This is the first post I have read today. What a wonderful way to start my day.

[JustLoreen @haylori1]

So many older & young people do so much good in our communities.
Like the amazing June, 94 yrs young....
Like my mum (awarded a BME for over 60 yrs of volunteering & still going)
For my youngest daughter who already has 100s of volunteering hours and she's only 15.

Our Star of the Week is the wonderful June Patterson, who, at the age of 94, has decided to no longer volunteer at our shop in Dunfermline. 🌟

Thank you, June, for everything that you have done for @BarnardosScot 💚

If you've been inspired by #GIW24, please do think of doing #intergenerational training & start from a place of good practice, learning the techniques that bring generations together.

Full details of all our upcoming training and online courses is here >> https://t.co/RkZ5iWie80

[JustLoreen @haylori1]

@LintonLass So many special ways to connect generations through play :)

[JustLoreen @haylori1]

As Global Intergenerational Week draws to a close, why not take on #MeaningfulMay as a way to continue to develop #intergenerational connections, work and good practice. #GIW24 @lori_gwt @eastlothianlibs @ConnectedComEL @GwtBella @_LorraineGeorge @LoreenPardoe

@IshJudith How wonderful. And so well deserved.

@SupportfrmStart @LornaBellany @ConnectedComEL @eastlothianlibs

Effecting change always needs a clear focus and commitment to early years. That's pre-birth to 8 yrs.

Taking a child development approach really matters. That's why the model proposed by Upstart Scotland is key.

[Upstart Scotland @UpstartScot]

Couldn't agree more with this @TesScotland piece by @William_J_Burke. Let's get off to the best possible start with a relationship-centred, play-based kindergarten stage.

@SupportfrmStart

Some people make such a difference in their lives and through their lives.

Poverty hurts.

We need to continue to engage & support the work in Early Years to make a real change.

Financial & experience poverty needs community support & expert provision.

[Generations Working Together @GenerationsWT]

Let’s start Global Intergenerational Week 2024 by raising awareness for the importance and value of #intergenerational relationships.

Together we can shift the narrative, from intergenerational practice being considered ‘nice’, to being regarded as ESSENTIAL

#GIW24

Love the capacity of babies - even now they still amaze and delight me with their incredible abilities - and don't get me started on toddlers either😃

[activeforlife @activeforlife]

Babies are wired to move! It’s how they learn and develop all those important motor skills. If you have a little one who likes to move it, move it, here are a few simple, age-appropriate activities you can do together to encourage them!
