Описание: #idtalks

11 February - 8 April 2026, Online

👉 In spring 2026, the ID Talks will explore what intergenerational solidarity and intergenerational dialogue are and how youth work can address them. This series will guide participants through the concepts of intergenerational solidarity and intergenerational dialogue - what they mean, why they matter and how they are relevant in today’s societies.

✔️ “ID Talks” is a series of 5 online workshops on 5 major topics in the promotion of Inclusion & Diversity (ID) and quality youth work. It features youth workers, professionals, and volunteers, from all over the world to share insights, research findings, food for thought, good practices, or inspirational stories. They will guide participants through the pressing matters and challenges affecting Inclusion & Diversity and inspire them to make their programmes and organisations more inclusive, embrace human differences, look ahead and picture how the future of youth work and Inclusion & Diversity might be.

📆 When?

✔️ 11 February (13h-14h30 CET) ID Talks intergenerational solidarity -What does intergenerational solidarity mean? What are its key elements? What’s in it for different sectors and why is it important for youth work? What other concepts are relevant when unpacking intergenerational solidarity (intergenerational fairness, intergenerational dialogue etc.) and how do they differ and intersect with one another? Let’s discuss a topic that is becoming a priority in European discourse and explore what it means for the EU policy framework and future EU programmes. Guest speaker: Ismael Paez Civico, Confederation of European Senior Expert Services (CESES), Belgium

✔️ 25 February (13h-14h30 CET) ID Talks ageism - What is age, how is it defined and what does it mean for different generations? How does age intersect with cultural, societal and religious norms, gender and personal traits? What are the common misconceptions and assumptions about different age groups and how do they affect us? We invite you to explore age and power dynamics and discuss how youth work can address existing issues and promote intergenerational understanding and solidarity. Guest speaker: Alice Latta & Juliette Laisné, Belgium

✔️ 11 March (13h-14h30 CET) ID Talks ancestors & offsprings - How are we all connected and why is this important? What is human ecology and how does it relate to intergenerational solidarity? What can we learn from the Earth as an Elder? Why are memories and stories important and how can they help us reflect on existing narratives and reframe societal views? Let’s widen our understanding of age and time in relation to inclusion and social transformation, and explore what youth work can do to deepen young people’s sense of connection and belonging to a greater whole. Guest speaker: Juan Camilo, Iceland

✔️ 25 March (13h-14h30 CET) ID Talks practice: ‘Grandpa tell me more’ - How can intergenerational dialogue take shape in practice? Why is this topic important for youth work?

Looking at ‘Grandma, tell me more’, we will learn from a youth-led practice by exploring its key elements, main outcomes and important lessons learned. Guest speaker: Ana Moutas & Cláudia Numão, Psientífica, Portugal

✔️ 8 April (13h-14h30 CET) ID Talks practice: ‘I am blue’ - What is the role of intergenerational dialogue in changing the social narrative around ageing?
