Melt the Ice! Building Intergenerational Bridges was an international training that took place in Siikaniemi, Finland, and brought together participants from different generations to explore intergenerational cooperation in communities and organisations.

The training focused on developing practical skills for intergenerational work, including active listening and nonviolent communication through role plays. Participants exchanged good practices through case studies and open space discussions. The programme included outdoor activities organised by a local group, Suomen Retkeilyliitto ry, such as ice fishing and kick sledging, as well as a climate hike organised by Naturefriends International.
Participants developed concrete outputs including practical tips for addressing intergenerational tensions and a possible policy motion for NFI's Congress. Through non-formal education methods, the training equipped participants to facilitate intergenerational dialogue in their local contexts.

The activity demonstrated how generational diversity can strengthen organisations when approached constructively, contributing to more resilient and inclusive Naturefriends groups.
