Family learning is an approach to learning that encourages family members to learn together, strengthening relationships and building skills across generations.
Our family learning work aims to:
- Support parents/guardians and their children to learn together
- Support parents/guardians to develop skills, knowledge and confidence
- Improve communication within the family
- Help families discover new interests
- Build relationships and connections
- Help parents/guardians support their children’s learning at home and school
- Inspire adults to reconnect with their own learning journey
- Promote and support intergenerational learning
Shetland Intergenerational Network
Intergenerational learning is all about people of different ages coming together to share skills, stories, and experiences. Whether it's grandparents learning tech from their grandkids or parents and children exploring new ideas side by side, everyone has something valuable to offer—and something new to discover. Intergeneration learning is a key part of family learning and lifelong learning, helping build stronger connections between generations.
Adult Learning supports the delivery of intergenerational learning in Shetland and works in partnership with Generations Working Together to deliver Shetland Intergenerational Network.
