WELCOME to East Lothian Intergenerational Network
A wonderful project in Leith through the Citadel Youth Project and their fabulous friends which was adapted over the time of the Covid-19 pandemic to take place online. Together they developed this Intergenerational Digital Practice Toolkit to complement the original toolkit and other resources.
