The Research
We are proud 'prac-ademics', in the sense that we take our practical expertise and lived experiences of intergenerational engagement and share these with the qualified academics who have the credentials to objectively analyse our work and create an evidence base.

Shared Lives, Shared Land
A South Australian Case Study
We are delighted to share the findings of a Case Study by Torrens University which analysed our model and identified the best practices that we exemplify, especially in relation to how we empower children and Encore residents with choice, how our environment facilitates meaningful intergenerational engagement in an organic manner, and the ways that our approach helps to foster genuine connection. We are proud that academic analsysis supports what we see with our own eyes every day.
A PhotoVoice Study
Exploring children and older adults' perspectives on a purpose-built intergenerational housing environment in South Australia.
We are proud to share the Torrens University publication that analysed our PhotoVoice Project. This amazing analysis allows us to understand on a deeper level how the environment impacts on our children and grandfriends.
