Intergenerational lives and learning
A hybrid conference celebrating the benefits, opportunities and challenges of multi-generational family lives
Friday 9th February 2024
9-30 to 4-00pm
The Glass Tank, Abercrombie, Oxford Brookes University, Gipsy Lane, Headington, Oxford OX3 0BP
Please note: You will find it difficult to park vehicles near the campus, but Oxford has three excellent Park and Ride Car Parks on the outskirts. Bus 400 runs between Thornhill Park and Ride every 10 minutes with buses stopping directly at Headington Brookes.
Buses stop at B4 and B5 by the Main Entrance to the Gipsy Lane Site. The Glass Tank is in the Abercrombie Building, left at the top of the Piazza, after the Colonnade Store building.
Gypsy, Roma and Traveller families often comprise three or four generations living together or close by. Traditions and culture, skills and trades, music and story, financial and emotional support transfer between them. Schools that succeed in including Gypsy, Roma and Traveller pupils in one generation continue to work well with succeeding generations of the extended family.
Our conference will give participants an opportunity to share and discuss how intergenerational life works for them, how it is experienced by different generations and the challenges posed by contemporary society.
Oxford Brookes is the home of the RIBA studio which is a practice-based route to qualification as an Architect. Its programme director is ACERT member Maria Faraone, and we plan to incorporate content from course participants into the day.
We hope the day will be advertised around all the Oxford colleges, so students with Gypsy, Roma and Traveller heritages, and those who want to support our campaign for equal rights can meet us and learn more about what ACERT does.
Exhibitions and Stalls
- Angel Donaldson: The Nawken Knowledge Project
- Prof. Thomas Acton: Romanistan Publication Bookstall
- Claire Barker: Hampshire EMTAS Traveller Team

What is COMMUNITY BUILDER TRAINING?
A online training course facilitated by leading experts in building kinder, safer more inclusive communities. During interactive sessions taking place over either two days you will discuss and learn about:
- the processes that create divides, prejudice, and identity-based violence
- what really works in building kinder, safer, more inclusive communities
- how to design impactful projects for positive change
- principles to guide how to work in and with communities in meaningful, participatory ways
Following the training, every participant will be encouraged and supported to apply what they have learnt in the training to work they are already doing, or even through a new initiative, whether it is in their workplace, community, group, or club.
Who is it for?
The training is aimed at anyone passionate about creating positive change in their communities and will help them to build their knowledge and skills on what really works to bring people together, tackle injustice, and increase cohesion. The expert-led sessions see participants guided through a series of interactive activities and discussions to explore how they can contribute to building strong, inclusive, connected, and equitable communities.
