ELDERS AS CONVENERS

IN TURNING EXPERIENCE INTO CHANGE 
While we elders have ceded center stage, we still have one major power left to us --  the ability to bring the generations together to make meaningful change. This is the locus of Our Unique Power -- as conveners -- the catalyst for "turning experience into change."  

If you are moved to work closely with the generations that follow us -- our mid-lifers and youth -- we invite you to our five-part Changemaker Workshop, where you can put the principles of Our Big Idea into action for you  -- drawing inspiration and guidance from The Stories of successful social entrepreneurs and your fellow elders. 

We meet weekly for five sessions -- where we'll:
  • " make a map" of your project;
  • "mind the gaps" within the system you're interested in changing;
  • and "build the app" that can guide you throughout. 

At the end of five weeks you'll be well on your way to implementing your own project in your own community.

You'll come away not only with a plan and new skills, but also a deeper appreciation for exactly what constitutes 
Elder Power andThe Method you'll take with you wherever you go.
