Generations Over Dinner is a free global initiative to create meaningful multi-generational experiences and conversations. At the core of this initiative is this question: How many generations can you bring to the table? Can you find six generations to invite, five generations, four generations or even the significant touchstone of bringing three generations together. Everyone is invited to become a host to gather their friends, family and even strangers at both physical dinner parties and Zoom based gatherings.

Connecting Generations – The World Health Organization (WHO) was requested to develop, in cooperation with partners, a global campaign to combat ageism. This guide, developed for the campaign, builds on the evidence in the global report on ageism that interventions for intergenerational contact is one of three strategies that have been proven to work in addressing ageism, together with policy and law and educational interventions. The guide provides step-by-step guidance for anyone who is using or wishes to use intergenerational practice to combat ageism and to promote understanding and mutual respect among generations.
