Two school students who participated in an evidence-based intergenerational learning using video conferencing program in 2019 and 2021 along with healthcare professionals, academics and a school principal will be members of the Q&A panel about Intergenerational Practice. The link below will direct you to the first session of a new group of elders and school students (Mar 2022) in an Intergenerational Learning video call. It is significant to note that the elders and students had never met prior to this first video call. This program has been facilitated for schools and aged care organisations on a weekly or fortnightly basis since June 2019 and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, to ensure elders retained meaningful, enjoyable and ongoing socialisation with school students. Your school or aged care organisation is welcome to participate.
