The UCD Institute for Discovery, with generously acknowledged support from UCD in the Community, launched a brand new "cultivating community" initiative called 'The Intergenerational Jigsaw Club' in April 2018. The idea behind the club is to facilitate inter-generational human connection by bringing together members of the UCD community (students, staff, & alumni) with members of the wider community. The club provides jigsaw puzzles and a fun space, and people from 12 to 112 years old come and enjoy the company, conversation, and puzzle completion. Students from local schools Muckross Park College and Gonzaga College are championing this initiative and also hope to start the habit of life-long volunteering.
Due to Covid-19 the Jigsaw Club now runs online via Zoom, every Friday.
