Unleashing the Power of Intergenerational Collaboration
As people are living longer, healthier lives, there are more opportunities for generations to work and live alongside one another than ever before. Each generation has its own unique experiences, perspectives, and values—a particular lens through which they see the world. These differences can sometimes be frustrating, yet they can also be positive and beneficial.
In our collective commitment to foster inclusivity and connection at Levitt concerts across the country, join us for an engaging 90-minute session to learn how to help staff, volunteers, audience members, artists, and community partners of all ages feel understood and valued. Gain a stronger sense of empathy for people across age groups, learn what leads to different generational thought patterns and perspectives, and discover best practices for recruiting volunteers from every generation as well as creating awareness for your concert series among multigenerational audiences. Participants will have the opportunity to share their insights and ask questions.
We invite you to extend this invitation to others in your organization and those engaged in the many aspects of bringing your concert series to life.
This EDI training will help you and your Levitt peers…
