Exchange of experience and cooperation between generations
In today’s society, there are many prejudices and stereotypes about older people and seniors. In many cases, they have a great deal of experience and expertise in a variety of areas. It is important to exchange ideas with them and benefit from their life experience.
At HTV, we are very fortunate to have many senior members who enrich us with their experience and knowledge. We should take advantage of their expertise and give them the opportunity to make their contribution.
Intergenerational exchange is also an opportunity to promote understanding between different age groups. We should all make an effort to reach out to each other and understand that each generation has its strengths and weaknesses. In HTV, we can promote a sense of togetherness, for example, through joint events and projects.
- We can offer workshops and training sessions where older members can share their experiences.

- We can create a platform where older members can bring in their ideas and suggestions and implement them together with the younger members.
Cooperation and exchange between generations is important for the further development of HTV and for harmonious coexistence in our society. Let us be inspired and learn from each other, regardless of our age.
