Established in May 2004, the Wales Centre for Intergenerational Practice (CCIP) is an initiative of the Beth Johnson Foundation, funded by the Wales Assembly Government, and developed in partnership with the University of Glamorgan who host and administer the Centre .
The Centre aims to support the development of Intergenerational Practice (IP) throughout Wales and sees intergenerational approaches as an effective tool in promoting sustainable community development and in reducing social exclusion.
Key to our understanding of intergenerational work is that it aims to bring generations together in purposeful, mutually beneficial activities which promote greater understanding and respect between generations and help to build more cohesive communities.
Intergenerational practice is inclusive, building on the positive resources
that different generations have to offer each other and those around them.
Intergenerational approaches are an effective way to address a number of issues, many of them key government priorities such as building active communities, promoting citizenship, regenerating neighbourhoods and addressing inequality.
The goals of the centre are to:
- support those involved - or potentially involved - in intergenerational work
develop the understanding of intergenerational work and its benefits
influence decision-makers to incorporate intergenerational initiatives into their policies and funding guidelines
