Intergenerational Connections

More Than a Visit

A shared moment can become a meaningful relationship. Older adults and university students can talk, learn, create and contribute together.

Talk

Share everyday experiences, memories, ideas and perspectives.

Walk

Get outside, notice the neighborhood and enjoy a change of scene together.

Learn

Exchange practical knowledge—from life skills and hobbies to digital tools.

Play

Enjoy games, puzzles, music and light-hearted activities side by side.

Create

Try art, writing, cooking, gardening or another shared creative interest.

Explore

Visit local places, explore culture or follow a question that sparks curiosity.

Offer what you know and stay open to what another generation can teach you.

Teach & Contribute

Use knowledge, talents and energy in ways that feel useful and rewarding.

Create Your Story

Capture a memory, idea or personal milestone through words, images or audio.

Build & Share

Work together on a webpage, a collection of photographs or a digital story—combining lived experience with student digital skills.

Bring an interest, a question or a story.

The best shared activity starts with what matters to the people taking part.
