What Happens At the Dinner table changes the future.

Conversations can change lives, and what better way to get talking than playing games and sharing a delicious meal? Intergenerational dinners allow everyone to relax and share perspectives that are unique to their generation. With the help of the Modern Elder Academy, we can all make a difference in our communities by hosting intergenerational dinners. Generations Over Dinner maps out the dinners and even provides popular topics to discuss, such as love and relationships, purpose, and the future. Janine Vanderburg, whom I interviewed last year, is changing the narrative on aging positively. Conversations about aging are beneficial to everyone and is a topic that can be discussed over the next intergenerational dinner that you host. Spending time with others whether it’s friends, or family is vital for our well-being and mental health.
