Generations Working Together (GWT) is the nationally recognised centre of excellence supporting the development and integration of intergenerational work across Scotland. We believe that intergenerational work has a unique and significant contribution to make to people and communities. We offer FREE membership for people living in Scotland. GWT’s vision and ambitions as an organisation aims are:
- To enable Scotland to become an intergenerational nation.
- To influence national and local policy in favour of intergenerational practice.
- To promote, support and increase innovation in intergenerational practice in Scotland.
- To increase participation in intergenerational practice.
- To ensure sound governance.
In 2020 we launched our call for Scotland to become the first intergenerational nation, coinciding with the Scottish Government Election in 2021. The manifesto identifies three areas and fifteen specific calls for action that we believe the Scottish Government elected for 2021 – 2026, and all elected representatives should focus on to help ensure that relationships between generations are strengthened and Scotland becomes more connected and inclusive.
In 2021 we took over the leadership of Intergenerational Week from St Monica's Trust. In 2022 it became Global Intergenerational Week bringing together 15 countries from around the world to celebrate all things intergenerational.
