Whose Future Is It Anyway? An Intergenerational Open Forum
Today, more so than before, a generational divide shapes how age groups view politics and resource allocation. Older generations often prioritize stability, fiscal caution, and gradual reform, whereas younger generations tend to demand urgent climate action, affordable housing, and debt relief. These differences can lead to tension, misunderstanding, and polarization. HGP will host an open forum to discuss why this is the case and whether common ground can be found. Participants will explore shared concerns, challenge stereotypes, and identify practical ways to listen across differences. The event aims to turn disagreement into dialogue and blame into shared solutions, together now.
Programs are presented in four broad areas relevant to Humanism:
• Human Well-Being • Science and Reason • Secularism • Humanities, Culture, and Morality
