INDIANA – Collaborative efforts towards stronger partnerships between adults and young individuals will take center stage during a virtual two-part training event titled “Unpacking Adultism & Understanding Intergenerational Collaboration.”
Jointly presented by the Technical Assistance Collaborative (TAC), Indiana Balance of State Continuum of Care Youth Advisory Board, and Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority (IHCDA), the training aims to equip participants with key skills for meaningful cooperation across generational divides.
Targeting adults and young people committed to robust collaboration, power sharing, and joint decision-making, this event is ideal for those striving to bridge age gaps.
Event attendees can look forward to:
- Exploration of age-based assumptions, power dynamics, and generational differences influencing collaborative efforts.
- Recognition and addressing of adultism and other age-based biases potentially hindering effective interaction.
- Development of practical tools to establish partnerships where young individuals’ influence extends to critical decisions and system change.
- Learning and practicing strategies for effective communication and working across diverse generations.
This educational initiative directly addresses building effective housing systems tailored for young people. Young people, often overlooked, possess invaluable expertise, ideas, and experiences vital for creating successful systems. The training emphasizes moving beyond mere token invitation and focuses on genuine partnerships where their voices are valued and integrated into decision-making processes.
