About Gen K
Gen K is an all ages movement combatting ageism and building stronger communities through acts of kindness. Gen K'ers know ageism hurts and believe our value should not be determined on the basis of our age. We need each other and when we work across generations we can change the world - one act of kindness at a time.
Gen K workshops
Gen K workshops bring older and younger people together for workshops to combat ageism and build stronger communities through acts of kindness for people doing it tough in the local community. The acts of kindness unite participants through shared goals and meaningful connection.
The Gen K Workshop Facilitator's Kit includes includes: an evaluation framework and tools, participants recruitment guidelines, participant information sheet and consent form, risk management plan, dissemination plan, theories on ageism and step by step guide to each workshop. More information here
