Generationenakademie: supporting social cohesion

Men and women at a Generation Academy workshop.

The Generationenakademie (Generation Academy) served as a network for intergenerational projects from 2010 to the end of 2020, when the project came to a close. The concept was launched by Migros Culture Percentage with the aim of encouraging people from different generations to meet each other, thereby reinforcing social cohesion.

This is what the Generationenakademie made possible

The Generationenakademie (Generation Academy) organised workshops for volunteers, experts and municipalities, networked stakeholders and offered support with initiating and implementing intergenerational projects. At public events, it shone a spotlight on major and significant intergenerational questions and encouraged societal discourse.

The team provided regular reports on their experiences in Blickwinkel (in German):
