Overview
Ageism and ableism, compounded by other forms of oppression, have fostered a sense of apathy in
our communities around intergenerational relationship building. However, when generations do
more than simply co-exist, but rather form bonds, synergy can be created to help communities
thrive. In this presentation, participants will be guided to an approach that can be used to build
more opportunities for our clients, communities, and ourselves to become energized around
intergenerational relationship building.
By Attending Our Workshop, You Will Be Able To:
- Identify at least one way that building intergenerational relationships connects with their professional or aspirational goals.
- Identify at least one reason why fostering intergenerational engagement enhances community well-being.
- Discover additional resources for further learning on intergenerational relationship building and the Vital Conditions for Health and Well-Being.
