Talking Generations
Talking Generations is a collaborative campaign between Intergenerational England and Intergenerational Music Making, dedicated to fostering meaningful connections and conversations across generations.
Our mission is to inspire dialogue, understanding, and collaboration between people of all ages, empowering communities to build stronger, more inclusive futures.
​
Join us in reimagining what it means to live, work, and thrive in a truly intergenerational society. It starts with a conversation, so let's talk.
What is Talking Generations?
Talking Generations is an awareness campaign dedicated to advocating for the importance of connection and dialogue between different generations. We aim to challenge prevailing attitudes towards age and address social issues.
By fostering these conversations, we seek to break down barriers and stereotypes, promote empathy and understanding, and create opportunities for mutual learning and growth.
The Talking Generations podcast
The Talking Generations Podcast aims to bring together people from across the generations and sectors to share their stories and experiences. By highlighting the voices of people from different walks of life, we hope to bridge the gap between generations and create a more inclusive and connected society.
Each episode features guests from different age groups, professions and walks of life. Our guests share their insight on various topics including health, education, the arts, culture, and social issues to explore just how important it is for people to connect with different generations, and how best we can support this across the different sectors.
​
Talking Generations encourages guests and listeners to question the status quo, challenge assumptions, and actively seek out opportunities to learn from and collaborate with people of different ages and backgrounds.
Join us on Talking Generations Podcast as we explore the experiences and perspectives of people from across the UK and further. Together, we can build a more connected and inclusive society.

National Clinical Director for Older People & Personalised Care, NHS England
“As a society we need to change how we view age and remove the barriers and preconceptions about particular age groups. In bringing people together and valuing each other we give ourselves purpose, positivity and psychological well-being, which drives better cognitive ability and improves physical as well as mental health. Intergenerational England is excellent – its impact on individual and societal health is enormous. ”
