Magic Me is a UK charity that brings together different age groups through arts activities to promote intergenerational learning and action on climate change issues. Younger participants in one of Magic Me's programs were surprised to find that older people cared deeply about the environment, challenging stereotypes. By recognizing different perspectives based on life experiences, the program aimed to have climate conversations that included people of all ages and backgrounds.

the stereotype is that they don’t care and it’s only the younger
people that care when it’s actually not really true”
