Sparking Intergenerational Connections

How do you define a life well lived? How can we celebrate the incredible wit, wisdom, and experiences of older adults living full, meaningful lives and use them as inspiration for our own lives instead of overlooking older adults? What happens when a small family project grows into a social movement across the country? How can schools, use intergenerational conversations to teach history, empathy, resilience, and ageless wisdom? And what are ways companies, are cultivating intergenerational, connections in the workplace to build a more age-resilient and age-intelligent workforce? In this episode, we talk to Sky Bergman, an accomplished, award-winning photographer, Professor of Photography and Video at California Polytechnic State University, and the director of Lives Well Lived, a film featuring the stories of modern-day elders that show us how growing older can be a journey to be celebrated, and how schools and corporations are using the film as a starting point to rebuild intergenerational learning and connection across America.
