Intergenerational: Collaborating Across Generations

​Co-hosted by Youth Climate Collaborative and Dholakia Foundation, this event is all about bringing together the wisdom of experience and fresh perspectives to dive deep into what current models of intergenerational collaboration look like, what innovation in this space means, and how practices of intergenerational collaboration can be more widely adopted. We will share existing research and case studies, ways you can support our efforts, and engage in intergenerational conversations. This is a unique 3-hour exchange of ideas, insights, and ambitions to explore how different generations can work together to advance climate solutions. Get ready to bridge the gap!
