SXSW 2024
Intergenerational Conversations: Proximity and Possibility
Description:
Giving in to the story that America is immovably divided means giving up on the idea that people in America can come together to solve seemingly intractable problems. How do we build relationships outside of existing power dynamics, push each other to see possibility, and commit ourselves to carrying forward the systems change work of those who came before us? This meetup brings together change leaders across generations to examine how our beliefs, experiences and communities have shaped how we see the future of our country, and discuss how we can re-architect the foundations of our society.
