Join our Ted Circles Discussion on Tuesdays
The theme for January 2021: Inter-Generational Learning
The talks are focused on the theme of inter-generational learning, a concept that goes beyond the concept of schooling where teachers from an older generation engage young students in learning. These talks emphasize the importance of reciprocal learning between the different generations: the young learn to value the wisdom of elders, and elders appreciate the impact of their work and decision-making on upcoming generations' lives.

Join at this LINK Everyone should participate in decision-making and politics -- and it starts at home, says activist Hajer Sharief. She introduces a simple yet transformative idea: that parents can teach their children about the political agency by giving them a say in how their households are run, in the form of candid family meetings where everyone can express their opinions, negotiate and compromise.
