In the summer of 2017, Zoped Academy has developed an intergenerational program aimed at bringing together 35 people of Indian descent ages ranging from 15 years of age to 72 to discuss their experiences of growing up in an ever evolving world of migration. This a unique program to bring together 25 people to discuss and participate in workshops focused to do the following:
- Providing participants with an understanding how the past shapes today’s complex world
- Increase the appreciation for travel as a path toward that knowledge and informed perspective
- Teaching you to build capacity for facilitating meaningful encounter and effective dialogue across cultures
- Challenging and reshaping fundamental notions of cultural and personal identity
- Understand the individual’s role in fostering the environment of respect, trust, risk and reflection in which collaborative learning can occur
- Consider the numerous and diverse ways in which new knowledge, understandings, values and sense of personal heritage will shape outward behavior and actions
