June 1st is Intergenerational Day

 
What Is Intergenerational lmmersion?

Intergenerational immersion is defined as any situation whereby different generations interface within each others' living/working space. For example, if a youth group enters a care home to participate with elders in some way, this is intergenerational immersion. If elders visit a school to participate as an audience for a student concert, this is intergenerational immersion. In each case, connecting of the participant groups is intentional, with specific intergenerational goals in mind. The resulting connections are rich and hold hope for future communities through sharing.
