SUMMARY:Engage at Every Age
DESCRIPTION:Engage at Every Age: When young and old connect\, great things happen!   \nJoin us for a free webinar presented by Andrew Fleck Children’s Services. In this session\, Andrew Fleck Children’s Services (Ottawa) will be sharing their insights and reflections acquired over the past few years\, facilitating intergenerational programming between children ages 0 – 4 and diverse older adult populations in a variety of settings. Participants will have an opportunity to learn from their challenges and successes and ask questions about the early stages of developing an intergenerational program.     \nIntergenerational programming offers a powerful opportunity to foster meaningful\, everyday connections between children and older adults. Both generations benefit from time spent together\, enjoying shared interests and forming lasting friendships. Rather than limiting these moments to occasional\, planned visits where seniors passively observe\, we’re exploring what’s possible when interactions are naturally embedded into daily routines within an early learning and care setting.   \nOpen to anyone developing or considering an intergenerational program with children up to 4 years of age.  \nPresented By: \nNeeka Barnes  – Director\, Special Projects Andrew Fleck Children’s Services\nNeeka Barnes has worked in the early learning and care field for 46 years. She has a diverse background that includes roles as a consultant\, life skills coach\, and college professor. For the past several years\, she has worked as the Director of Special Projects at Andrew Fleck Children’s Services. \nJosé Alejandro Fernandez Cruz – Intergenerational Program Assistant\, Andrew Fleck Children’s Services\nJose Alejandro Fernandez Cruz (RECE\, Bach. Early Learning and Community Development) is the Intergenerational Program Coordinator with Andrew Fleck Children’s Services. As part of the Engage At Every Age Intergenerational Child Care Project\, he conducts research into the best practices of shared-space intergenerational programming and facilitates the involvement of older adults in the program.\nEmail: jfernandez@afchildrensservices.ca \nREGISTER HERE
