Theme 6 - It can be particularly significant when opportunities are created for two-way inter-generational contributions and inter-generational honoring. When it can be acknowledged that the skills and values of younger generations are carrying forth (in unique ways) the legacies of those of older generations, this can provide an antidote to the intergenerational dislocation that collective trauma often causes within communities.
Nine key principles which can help to build intergenerational alliances:
I am thinking about this core theme of food that also seems to be developing, with the food giveaway, food connecting people, food projects in India, Tanzania, Uganda. What if we were to build on this theme of food as a way to bridge generations. Building on the tree of life, kite of life, river of life narrative metaphor approaches, what if we were to think of recipes of life that help build community connectedness and strengthen intergenerational relationships. It also helps us see the rich cultural heritage in our community.

I am most drawn to Symbols of Hope (Nehemia Community Foundation), Outsider Witnesses, and Tree of Life for relevance and connection to strengthening intergenerational relationships and community connectedness. With the global teams they are interested in reducing ageism and increasing intergenerational collaboration.
