In partnership with Charles Fowler of World Values Day, I am running an online Knowledge Café in October for the seventh consecutive year. Our speaker this year will be Hank Kune of Educore.
This year’s Café will be a little different as we aim to unite young people (youngers) and elders for an intergenerational dialogue about our values and what people would like the world to be ten years from now — focusing on the values that bring us together.
We are looking for two groups of participants:
1. Youngers between the ages of 16 and 18 years old.
2. Elders over the age of 60.
We plan to host one knowledge Café on October 19th in the European time zone, suitable for the UK, Ireland, continental Europe, Africa, and the Middle East participants. But if there is sufficient interest, we may run more cafes for other time zones.
We want an equal balance of youngers and elders. Our ideal is 25 elders from several countries and an equal number of 25 youngers.
As the Café will be during school term time, ideally, we would like five schools from a few different countries to participate, with each school contributing five students with a mix of genders.
If you are a school teacher (even if not in the European time zone) and you are interested in having your school participate in the Café, please get in touch (david.gurteen@gurteen.com). Elders will be able to register online at a later date.
