What is Global Intergenerational Week
LGNI are members of the GIW Executive Team and the Official Country Lead for the campaign in NI which runs annually. Now in its sixth year, Global Intergenerational Week (GIW) continues to champion and celebrate meaningful connections between generations across the world.
Taking place from 24th to 30th April 2026, the campaign invites individuals, community groups, organisations, governments, and NGOs to come together to embrace and promote intergenerational practice in all its forms.
Preparations for #GIW26 are already underway with the official Campaign launch taking place 4th February and exciting plans to expand our global reach, welcome new participating countries, and build on the success of previous years.
