Connecting generations: a guidance note on inclusive intergenerational dialogue
What does it mean for different generations to truly engage and understand one another? What are the possible benefits of such interactions? This guidance note seeks to contribute to an increased understanding of what intergenerational dialogue is (and what it is not) and why it is paramount within the scope of peace, security, and sustainable development. It provides considerations, promising practices, and guiding principles to inspire and support various actors in organising or partaking in intergenerational dialogue that is conducive for both younger and older generations – whether in a large formal setting or informally between two individuals.
In 2023, the Swedish Dialogue Institute in the Middle East and North Africa, with support from FBA, conducted a participatory process to explore and co-create knowledge on intergenerational dialogue.
This process involved roundtable discussions, workshops, meetings, and interviews – engaging with over 200 individuals of diverse backgrounds and experiences. The resulting insights and lessons learnt are consolidated in this guidance note.
