The December 17, 12:00-1:00, “Ideas & Experience Exchange: Wisdom Inquiry” webinar focuses on isolation. We will highlight some of the great ideas that are “popping up” in lifelong communities and aging in place initiatives in northern New England. The format will be a little different from some of our other webinars. New England is famous for its ingenuity. The lifelong communities and aging in place initiatives develop innovative ideas to address needs. This month we are celebrating those innovative ideas that encourage people to enjoy social participation, especially during the winter months when getting out can be challenging. We will be “seeding” the conversation with several “kernels of corn” that are already popping in northern New England. Each community will briefly share what they are doing to spark other ideas in peer communities.

Join us to hear these innovative ideas and come prepared to share ideas that are working for your community. By sharing, you will help other communities pop.
