Reimagining what it means to belong at every age


How do we foster belonging across generations? What does it mean to age — and thrive — in a world that often overlooks older adults?

At The Walrus Talks at Home: Aging and Belonging, speakers share their unique perspectives on how aging shapes identity, connection, and community. Join us as we explore how to build more inclusive and age-friendly spaces, strengthen intergenerational relationships, and challenge ageism in our workplaces, homes, and public life.
