THE EXCHANGE
This is where CarryShareOwe's real questions live, the starting place for conversations between generations. Right now, that means a handful of prompts pulled from our own exchanges. In time, The Exchange will grow into a full-scale, living wall of the questions, wisdom, and stories this project gathers.
This Is the Table. Pull Up a Seat.
Questions worth carrying into the room.
Choose one prompt, bring it to someone from another generation, and start the conversation.
ELDER
What's a story from your life that you've never been asked to tell?
YOUNG ADULT
What's something you've never told an elder in your life, because you assumed they wouldn't get it?
ELDER
What question do you wish a young person would ask you, instead of assuming they already know your answer?
YOUNG ADULT
What's a question you've always wanted to ask an elder in your life, but haven't, out of respect, fear of the answer, or the quiet assumption that it's too late to ask now?
ELDER
What's something about getting older that nobody warned you about?
YOUNG ADULT
What's something your generation understands about connection, or disconnection, that older generations might not see yet?
More conversations are added regularly. Check back, or take the survey to help shape what comes next.
