Gen K workshops
Gen K workshops bring older and younger people together to combat ageism and build stronger local communities. Workshop participants are supported to work in intergenerational pairs/teams to explore ageism and to undertake a simple act of kindness for someone doing it tough in the local community. Kindness is presented as a framework for building compassion for others - including older people and people doing it tough in the local community. The acts of kindness become shared goals, encouraging stronger intergenerational connections to be built.
