Does Life Get Harder as You Get Older?

by Myles Crane

The above question was posed by an 8th grade student during the recent Intergenerational Conversations (IgC) event at Compass Community Collaborative School in Fort Collins. On Saturday morning March 30, an estimated 80+ attendees aged from 13 years old to 94 participated in discussing "You, Me and the Future of Our Natural World".

PAFC's Martha Conant, the Fort Collins Senior Advisory Board, teacher Emmannuelle Roussel from the Compass school and Professor Martin Carcasson from CSU's Center for Public Deliberation and student Liam Bureau helped coordinate this event sponsored by the above four organizations.

Before conversations started, Compass School Principal Bobby Young gave PAFC and guests an overview and quick tour of the Compass school. Then Dr. Carcasson laid out four ground rules: 1. Be honest and respectful. 2. Listen to understand. 3. It's okay to disagree. 4.Be brief so that everyone has an opportunity to participate.

Feedback that we received from attendees was that IgC was a "kick", "so much fun", "what a wonderful experience" and "can't wait for the next one".
