Intergenerational Forums Connecting the Generations

Council will be holding a series of intergenerational forums to build positive relationships across the generations as well as addressing the perceptions of crime in the community. The forums will bring together local year nine school students and older people to discuss a range of issues on how best to break down the barriers between the generations.

Lesley Atkinson, Director of Community and Cultural Development believes that building positive relationships and developing connections between older and younger people is an important step in bridging the generational gap in our community.

“We hope that participants in the forum will come away with a greater understanding and appreciation between the generations and opportunities to work together towards future co-operation," said Ms Atkinson.

Anyone interested in attending should contact Council’s Aged and Disability Development Officer, Ross Henderson on 6581 8111 or email ross.henderson@pmhc.nsw.gov.au
