GENeR@TE Forums

GENer@te forums are designed to give individuals the chance to participate in an innovative, interesting round table workshop focused on intergenerational volunteering.

These interactive forums provide the opportunity to exchange ideas as well as explore concerns and issues about intergenerational volunteering approaches.

In addition, the forums allow participants to create strong networks of support as they trial a range of intergenerational strategies and activities.

The two hour GENeR@te forums are ideally suited to coordinators or managers of volunteers.

Volunteering Queensland along with the support provided by the Department of Communities will conduct thirty GENeR@TE FORUMS with a minimum of three organisations per forum.
