Our Mission

To create a life-changing, intergenerational learning experience where creativity is fostered, critical thinking and lifelong learning are encouraged, and community leaders are empowered for the future.

What is iGen?

iGen is designed to provide close and continuing contact between Elders in long-term care and school-aged children over the period of one school year. The conversations and activities Elders and children engage in at Sherbrooke enhance the student learning experience.
