InterGen Studio™ is about building connections across generations through storytelling. We mentor youth and seniors to produce broadcast-quality video stories inspired by true life experiences.
Whether you are a youth exercising your creativity, a senior preserving your treasured knowledge, or a mentor paying it forward with your experience, we look forward to working with you!
What we do
We invite youth and seniors to collaborate on video projects that share their generational stories.
InterGen Studio™ is an online, video storytelling platform that brings together teams of youth, seniors and mentors. These teams work together to create videos that tell generational stories.
From the initial research and idea generation to screen-writing, video production and editing, the youth and senior teams are mentored by professionals. The final product is then posted online and becomes part of a valuable archive for future generations.
Our goals are to empower youth through creative engagement, give a voice to seniors, and create lasting friendships across generations.
Building enduring and meaningful relationships between Canadian youth and seniors.

“Intergenerational practice such as the InterGen Project contributes to more inclusive, cohesive communities and the breakdown of barriers and stereotypes, which contribute to the public good. As evidenced in an InterGenerational Video Project, they build bridges and understanding.”

“Our collaboration with InterGen Studio revealed significant insights about the desire for youth, adults and seniors to stay connected across generations. CanAge is proud to endorse intergenerational initiatives like this that seek to reduce social isolation, elder abuse, ageism and other barriers preventing older Canadians from living vibrant and connected lives.”
