Intergenerational Retreats serve as a catalyst to deepen, strengthen and improve the bonds within family and clan systems across generations. The retreats promote awareness of gender dynamics, engages participants in using their personal knowledge and experiences to teach others, and strengthens cultural identity. Through culturally appropriate engagement, the program becomes a way for all participants to re-think their actions and behaviors, incorporates new ways of living that promote positive intergenerational understanding and interaction, and then starts to build a network of support for social change.
