New Workshops
We have spent the past six years exploring the common ground between people of all ages. We have discovered that there is far more that connects people across the generations than the stereotypes would have us believe. Our unique workshops will provide you the opportunity to understand what binds and connects people together across the diversity of our society. To identify the common ground that will help you build a better age-inclusive workforce; or communicate to customers of all ages; or build homes and communities for all generations to live together; or to design new products or services that appeal to a wider range of people.

Workshop 1 — How to build an intergenerational workforce. Tuesday 5th March, 09.30 — 13.30.
It will not be long before most, if not all, large organisations will have five generations working together in their workforce. When this happens, the current model of investing in the youth while leaving mature workers to coast into retirement will no longer be fit for purpose. In the new world of the 100-year life, and the 60-year career, successful organisations will be those who nurture and inspire their workers across a much longer, more dynamic and varied career.
This workshop is for all HR, D&I and L&D leaders who want to start exploring what a truly intergenerational workforce and culture could look and feel like for your organisation.
Workshop 2 — How to speak with customers of all ages. Tuesday 12th March, 09.30 — 13.30
Our research has shown that whether you are 18 or 75, and all ages in between, 9 out of 10 of us view the brands that are ageless as the ones that are the most modern and trustworthy.
This workshop is for all communicators, whether internal to the workforce or external to the customer, who want to explore a new communications strategy which engages and appeals across all ages.
You will explore how to create the new language, imagery and communications strategies needed to engage people of all ages, and understand how and why so many brands are getting it wrong.
Workshop 3 — How to design homes and develop communities for everyone. Tuesday 19th March, 09.30 — 13.30.
Evidence shows that social connections in a cohesive community can extend a person’s healthy life expectancy, by almost three years. Evidence also shows that a joined up community — of people, business, schools, health authorities, technology, transport, government — help people live longer, healthier and happier. Placing Community at the centre can transform the lives of residents, businesses and civic organisations. But the question is "How?". How do we create a totally interconnected (socially and technically) new model of community, where everyone feels they belong, are active, healthy and supported to thrive at every stage in their lives?
During this workshop we will share the insights and learnings from working with some of the most innovative and pioneering developers and community builders in the UK today. This workshop helps you to create new models for community - focusing on system-wide connectivity and community integration.
