AIIP Intergenerational Conference, Sydney, February 2025

Don’t miss the opportunity to attend the Australian Institute for Intergenerational Practice (AIIP) 4th annual conference, Connecting Generations for Life.

The conference will be held in Sydney for the very first time, at Torrens University’s Surry Hills Campus, on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 February 2025.

This empowering two-day gathering* is your chance to connect, share, learn, and grow alongside others passionate about intergenerational practice.

Whether you’re an expert in connecting across the ages, just starting your journey, or inspired by the ABC’s Old People’s Home for 4-Year-Olds or Teenagers and eager to learn more, there is something for everyone.

This year we have a dynamic program (doubling in size from Gold Coast 2024), with special guest speakers, practitioners, researchers, and students from around the country.

Hear Stories from the Field, showcasing real-world examples of intergenerational programs in action, alongside presentations from leading researchers offering valuable insights into their outcomes.

Be inspired by the exciting 3-minute student thesis presentations, where emerging voices share fresh ideas and innovative research in intergenerational practice.

Bring your ideas and questions to our interactive panel where experts discuss and tackle challenges in implementing intergenerational programs, discuss the power of these programs to address complex social issues, and ways to increase their future impact and sustainability.

Additional highlights include:

• Guest Speaker Professor Susan Kurrle, AO, geriatrician and aged health care expert for the ABC’s Old People’s Home for 4-Year-Olds

• Guest Speaker Dr. Mark Williams, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience and author of The Connected Species

• Announcement of the AIIP National Award winner on Friday, 21 February

• Lots of opportunities to network and socialise in the vibrant Surry Hills community.
