Interview someone outside your generation group. Try to find someone outside of your family. Ideally, work with someone outside of your racial/ethnic group as well as gender.

Use the questions found in the exercise:

Born in different times In this exercise, people will form groups based on their generations and then discuss these questions: What are your values? What makes your generation unique? What major global or social events impacted your life? Favorite TV shows or trends? What significant contributions have you made, or do you hope to make? Today it is rare for a group to include all four generations. Thus, people can volunteer to represent the views of their parents, grandparents, older or younger friends, and aunts and uncles, and discuss the characteristics of the generations these people came from. Generational groups can then report back and learn from each other by discussing the following questions: What did you learn about the unique characteristics of the four generations? How has this broadened your understanding of how generations can work together? What are the challenges, connecting points, and learning opportunities between these groups? The seventh-generation rule This ancient covenant of the seventh-generation rule defined the purpose of leadership, ensuring children's well-being and the future sustainability of the people or tribe. What are the indications that our leaders are not cognizant of this responsibility? How would our world be different if our leaders followed this rule? What steps can we take to make our leaders accountable?
