Intergenerational Bonding (IGB) Awards

The inaugural IGB Awards 2009 aim to encourage organisations to develop new programmes that promote intergenerational bonding and at the same time, recognise exemplary IG programmes that are being implemented.

Funded under the Golden Opportunities (GO!) Fund administered by C3A, the Intergenerational Bonding (IGB) Awards recognise the significance of cross-generation interaction as an integral part of society as well as the synergistic role it plays in the promotion of active ageing. The IGB Awards will provide a platform for organisations to share their experience and be an inspiration to others in developing intergenerational programmes for Singapore.
