Intergenerational Integration
π« Building Bridges Between Generations
In a world growing more fragmented by age, technology, and lifestyle, Maaya Anubhuti Foundation envisions a space where elders and youth grow together. We believe intergenerational integration is not a luxury β it's a necessity for emotional well-being, social balance, and cultural continuity.
Our center and programs are being designed to create intentional, meaningful exchanges between seniors and younger generations.
β¨ Why It Matters
π§³ Elders feel heard, valued, and emotionally active
π€ Youth gain empathy, patience, and life perspective
π Communities rediscover continuity between past and future
π Shared Spaces
Our campus will have common areas designed for both elders and youth to:
Cook together
Share stories
Tend to gardens
Watch movies or play music
πΌ Training with Connection
