Strengthening communities & combatting loneliness

As loneliness reached epidemic levels and age segregation grew, former World Bank economist Guy Pfeffermann posed an urgent question: What could a scalable solution look like to bring generations together?

 

Students, community leaders, and innovators took up the challenge, co-creating pilots that ranged from memory treasure maps to podcasts across decades.​

Each pilot revealed the same truth: when we share our stories, walls come down and connection grows. Connect& Reflect stemmed from this discovery—designed so anyone, anywhere, can spark that same magic.

Connect& Reflect is the first of more tools and innovations to come, each created to strengthen communities, spark joy, and make intergenerational connection a valued cultural norm.
