Yes, there can be important conversations between the generations

"Voices of Franklin! The first of many to come...

Held by Franklin Rotary Club, Franklin Senior Center, the Franklin Recreational Department, and Franklin Interact Club!"

About a dozen seniors and about 15 high school students gathers for a few games, some lunch (and conversation) then, the center piece discussion of the day.

A defining statement was provided, participants would raise the red card or green card if they disagree (red) or agreed (green) with the statement. Moderator Ryan Jette would then follow up with some of the individuals who raised red or green and the conversation ensued.

The next session is scheduled for November 19, a school half-day.

There will be more to come about this event and the next scheduled session.

You can listen to the recording with Syed Azhar in advance of this session. https://www.franklinmatters.org/2026/08/franklin-interact-coordinating-with.html

Wednesday's session was recorded by Franklin TV/ Franklin Public Radio and will be made available here.
