On the 18th of November 2011, I went along to Peterborough's 3rd Intergenerational Convention to present a Workshop for Healthy Living in the context of Intergenerational (IG)Practice and bringing people together through activity. The activity Caroline asked me to present was Zumba Fitness and as an educational point of view the workshop presented was Zumba Gold is not just for Old - It's for the Peterboroughs Intergenerational Practice!
Definition of Intergenerational Practice“Intergenerational (IG) Practice aims to bring people together in purposeful, mutually beneficial activities which promote greater understanding and respect between generations and contributes to building more cohesive communities. Intergenerational practice is inclusive, building on the positive resources that the young and old have to offer each other and those around them”
(Beth Johnson Foundation, 2006)
Zumba Gold bringing people of all ages together through activity...
The aim of the workshop was to inspire different generations of people and bring Zumba Gold party to everyone standing or in a chair —"Where there’s an empty space, there’s a Zumba gold party waiting to happen!"
In this workshop we explored the benefits of activity and how the Zumba fitness program can be adapted to suit people of all ages, young or old. From the participants that were chair based, those with limited mobility, with joint or health issues to those with greater abilities and how we can get people moving together through music no matter what age or ability.Bringing People of all ages together for activity healthy living workshop offered the participants a unique Zumba (gold) experience.
