12. OPPORTUNITIES AND ACTIVITIES THAT BRING GENERATIONS TOGETHER


Margate Open Space Event Group 4
Session 3

Discussion led by Vera Elliott

Key discussion points/themes:

- Community spirit is missing
- Older people are victims of ageism
- Older people fear the youth
- Make use of established groups to promote exchange of activities
- English culture is not family orientated

Action Points:
1. Mobilise schools and community groups to work together
2. Ensure that this issue is part of the Margate cultural vision
3. Arrange a meeting between Youth Council and Thanet Senior Citizens to make a start on addressing this issue
