Libraries are increasingly recognizing the power of intergenerational programming to create vibrant, resilient communities and engage patrons of all ages in meaningful interactions. By working together, youth and adult programmers can launch dynamic partnerships and programs that strengthen the web of local relationships and the library itself. In this course, you’ll learn how to use in-house and outreach endeavors to serve those struggling with loneliness, social isolation, ageism, and more. This course will give you the tools you need to provide enriching opportunities for diverse ages to engage one another in skill sharing, knowledge growth, and collaboration.
Learning Outcomes:
- Explore the history and purpose of intergenerational programming
- Understand intergenerational programming best practices
- Expand your knowledge of potential intergenerational programs and community partners
- Design an intergenerational program you can implement in your library
Audience: This course is geared toward youth and adult programmers, those helping to implement intergenerational programs, and those seeking to lead their library into a more expansive and sustainable programming practice rooted in community strengths.
