After CoGenerate and Citizen University launched a project to deepen cogenerational ties, they discovered something surprising: Teens didn’t need convincing to work across generations. They already know that to create the change they want to see, they need to partner with adults (like teachers, school administration, city councils, etc.) What they actually need are more opportunities to partner with older generationsThis video captures pairs of older and younger people talking about what it takes to cogenerate, including asking meaningful questions, meeting as equals to build relationships and trust, encouraging all to participate equally, and truly sharing power.It’s a compelling introduction to cogeneration – and a great way to start a conversation wherever younger people and older ones are (or could be) working together, including schools, religious or spiritual gatherings, city councils, community organizations, campaigns and workplaces.
