Program Description
“Age based stereotyping has been expressed as ‘a silent killer of collaboration and productivity’. There are as many differences between the generations as there are between different cultures. How the differences are dealt with is crucial as is finding out if the differences are as great as is often first perceived.”
“…creating active communities, regenerating neighborhoods, decreasing inequality and challenging stereotypes and perceptions.”
