The Walrus Talks at Home: Aging and Belonging

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 will 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.

From reimagining housing and accessibility to tackling social isolation and advocating for empathy and inclusion, this conversation invites us to rethink what it means to belong at every stage of life.

Join us online for an evening of ideas and thoughtful dialogue about creating a society where belonging has no age limit.
