For many years, 1Toit2Ages has promoted intergenerational housing by pairing students and older adults through living arrangements based on mutual support, sharing and solidarity. To further strengthen these relationships and provide participants with an opportunity to meet in a friendly setting, a large intergenerational meal was organised.
The event brought together 65 senior-student pairs, giving everyone the chance to exchange experiences with others who share a similar journey. Beyond the meal itself, the gathering helped create new friendships, encouraged the sharing of inspiring stories, and reinforced the sense of belonging to a genuine intergenerational community.
To make the occasion even more memorable, participants also enjoyed a special entertainment show organised for the event. Filled with laughter, emotions and meaningful exchanges, the day once again demonstrated how enriching intergenerational encounters can be and how they help build lasting social connections.
