A global movement to promote young children and older adults learning together

The purpose of the TOY Programme is to promote intergenerational learning and create new possibil-
ities for older adults and young children to learn together and benefit from each other’s company. We

believe that this is more important than ever before in all continents of the world.
People are living longer but older adults and young children are having less and less contact with each
other. Parents and grandchildren are migrating to cities and countries far away from grandparents.

For many grandparents it is also sometimes difficult to keep in touch with grandchildren. Other rea-
sons for the lack of contact between old and young is that in many.

countries, older adults are living in old peoples’ homes where they rarely see children and many young
children are spending their days with their own age group in day care centres, pre-schools and schools.

The Together Old and Young (TOY) approach to IGL brings young children (0-8) and older adults togeth-
er to share experiences, have fun, learn from each other and develop meaningful relationships. Inter-
generational Learning activities in TOY are friendly and informal social encounters, where children

and adults can equally partake as the learner and the teacher.
