Global Intergenerational Week 2026 – April 24 to 30

Global Intergenerational Week 2026 

Now in its sixth year, Global Intergenerational Week (GIW) continues to champion and celebrate meaningful connections between generations across the world.

Taking place from 24th to 30th April 2026, the campaign invites individuals, community groups, organisations, governments, and NGOs to come together to embrace and promote intergenerational practice in all its forms.

This annual worldwide campaign encourages everyone to embrace intergenerational practice and relationships. Whether you’re an individual, part of a group, organisation, government or an NGO, Global Intergenerational Week has something for everyone. During this week, we celebrate the power of intergenerational relationships across seven daily themes:

Day 1 (24/04) : Let’s Raise Intergenerational Awareness

Day 2 (25/04): Let’s Challenge Ageism

Day 3 (26/04): Let’s Challenge Social Isolation and Loneliness

Day 4 (27/04): Let’s Celebrate Intergenerational Spaces and Communities

Day 5 (28/04): Let’s Save the Planet… Together!

Day 6 (29/04): Let’s Develop Intergenerational Workplaces

Day 7 (30/04): Let’s Improve Intergenerational Quality and Sustainability

The campaign seeks to highlight the amazing outcomes that are achieved, when people of all ages come together to form vital and lasting relationships. We want to hear about your experiences and ideas, whether it’s a local project or a global initiative, that bring different age groups together in meaningful ways.
