This webinar is based on a workshop that was presented at the 2016 Aging in America Conference.
Since aging begins at birth, it is important to include perspectives from all generations in discussions related to this topic. And, although it may be a desired outcome, it is not easily accomplished without a well-developed, thoughtful approach and facilitation. In this webinar, the presenters will share their experience from three-years of conversations with diverse populations in various settings with an eye toward submitting shared thoughts, outcomes and themes to the White House for inclusion in its deliberation at the 2015 White House Conference on Aging. The audience will learn about the steps that led to accomplishing a successful intergenerational program that involved participants in five locations connected through technology and understand the importance of collaborating with other stakeholders to achieve the most benefit to all.
Participants in this web seminar will be able to:
- Recognize the deeply held issues and concerns about aging raised by diverse populations;
- Identify the necessary steps to improve the aging experience for everyone now and for future generations; and,
- Describe the importance of hearing the voices of all generations because we all start aging, not at age 65, but as soon as we’re born.
