What risks undermining and dooming the anti-ageism & age-inclusivity movement?

What risks the anti-ageism / age-inclusivity movement becoming hypocritical, counterproductive and ultimately doomed to fail?

👉 If, and when, companies, organisations and individuals alike take a singular, tunnel visioned or siloed approach. 

Splitting up different ages and generations, pitting them against each other, or uplifting one at the expense of another only serves to further divide, alienate and fuel ageism.

We need to connect, unite and bridge between all ages, so that we can all grow, thrive, be seen, heard and valued equally at every age. And this, in turn means, we can also all learn, respect and effectively address points of intersectionality, and the unique or various challenges and changes we can inevitably face at different life stages. 

💡 How do we do this? Through an intergenerational approach. 

From teams and workforces, to strategies and practices, to policies, to creative initiatives, to external delivery - an intergenerational age-agnostic approach is the answer, even if when wanting to hone in on targeting specific groups and audiences. Because it boosts innovation, creativity, offers greater objectivity, and ultimately delivers stronger commercial results and a competitive advantage. 

Not to mention, the World Health Organization has found that intergenerational practises to be one of the most effective anti-ageism strategies because it fosters collaboration, shared learning, mutual respect and sustainable initiatives.
