Wiser Together Cafe: Generations Uniting for our Common Future

w/Juanita Brown and David Isaacs (co-founders of the World Cafe)

We are one generation waking up together across the cycle of life to the urgent need for coming together on behalf of what we believe in. You are invited to a fun and engaging inter-generational dialogue about how we can collaborate to shape the future by synergizing the unique gifts of all generations.

How can we honor and use each other’s unique contributions and gifts to access the collective wisdom and co-creativity that resides in us, as a single generation, alive and awake together—whatever our chro
nological age or stage of life?

The Cafe provides a hospitable space for integration and reflection, building partnerships of personal and professional value, and seeing the collective intelligence become visible before your eyes through graphic recording.

Our team of UCSC students, staff and faculty invite you to participate in a World Cafe conversation to share and discover our visions and actions for building more resilient and interconnected communities. We have personally invited farmers, elders, youth, apprentices, community stakeholders, and the campus community to gather our diverse perspectives. Come join us for this unique opportunity to connect and create with fellow change agents from all generations and communities. Let's create tomorrow, together!!

The Cafe will be preceded by collaborative storytelling that includes not only the story of how a global movement evolved from humble beginnings, but also about the friendship that the World Cafe and Wiser Together has made possible.
