5. ARE DISTANT GENERATIONS EQUAL?
EQUAL vs. EQUITY
Equality means each individual or group of people
is given the same resources or opportunities.
Equity recognizes that each person has different
circumstances and allocates the exact resources
and opportunities needed to reach an equal
outcome
Fight across ages by Robert Seymour
We must collaborate to foster successful and equitable intergenerational relations and partnerships to ensure “no one is left
behind.”- UNITED NATIONS , Department of Economic and Social Affairs Youth ,2022

6. Why we need Intergenerational solidarity?

Intergenerational Programmes towards Sustainable Futures for Children and
Families. Sustainability 2021, 13, 5564. https://doi.org/10.3390/su13105564

7. • To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the world needs to leverage the full potential of all
generations.
• Solidarity across generations is key for sustainable development.

8. AGEISM

11. Ageism has far-reaching impacts on all aspects of our health and well-being when we are older:
•It is associated with earlier death.
•It is linked to poorer physical health, affecting, among others, our ability to recover from disability and our
sexual and reproductive health.
•It increases risky health behaviours (e.g., eating an unhealthy diet, smoking)
•It is associated with poorer mental health, including the onset of depression, increases in depressive symptoms
over time and lifetime depression.
•It is associated with a lower quality of life and contributes to social isolation and loneliness.

14. 1. Speak up. Don’t let yourself be pushed around because you’re older or younger. At family gatherings where
there are people of all ages, you might be tempted to sit on the sidelines and watch, but make an attempt to
participate.
“Listen, smile , look at me and speak calmly; I’m all your family!”

15. Truth is the horizon that nestles the sun of human
brilliance!
-Darshan Panda, Listening Time

When you speak, your words talk back to yourself.
-Darshan Panda, Meditation

16. 2. Engage in the world. Let us interact, learn from each other and make a world full of interchanging ideas.

17. 3. Be positive. Attitude has a lot to do with how people can overcome ageism. Relish the experience and
wisdom that come with age and put them to good use.
Optimism is the horizon that nestles the sun of
human brilliance!

19. 4. Be as independent as you can. “There’s a concept of learned helplessness,” “If you assume that because you’re a certain
age, you’re unable to do certain things, you won’t be able to do them. You won’t lose those abilities if you continue to do for
yourself what you can.” Go shopping. Do your own banking. Eat out in restaurants.
Recognize and accept your weaknesses. You
can't turn a weakness into a strength if
you're busy denying the weakness exists.

20. 5. Surround yourself with younger/older people. Taking a class at the gym or the community college with younger people will
help fight ageism, Chun says. “There’s also that energy that comes from being with people who are younger to motivate you to
push yourself," she adds.

21. 6. Volunteer. Join in activities

22. US
“‘Us’ we make a living body whom we call the society. You,
me, we all are its functional limbs. Let’s initiate its service
from within, and then to our family, to our neighbors, to
the road on which we walk, to the plants which provide us
oxygen, to the soil which provides us food, rivers that have
quenched the thirst of our ancestors and are continuing
their task today, to every service providers and to that
place where we perform our duty. This is the anthem of
social responsibility. “
Darshan Panda, Meditation
