A conference to develop intergenerational work will be held in Nottingham on 30 March. Merlynne Francique, development officer at The NYA, said: "The interest in intergenerational work as a useful medium for building good relationships between generations, challenging stereotypes and sharing oral and local history has grown in importance over the years.
