How to Bridge the Generational Gap through Community | Lisa Beck | TEDxSilver Lake

According to research, only 26% of Americans know most of their neighbors, with Boomers knowing 34% and Gen Z knowing 20%. A lack of community and social isolation has been linked to physical and mental illness, along with one study finding social isolation as a higher risk factor for death. Yet, we as humans are inherently social creatures and our need for community dates back to primitive times. As humans, we have evolved but our reason for community and its benefits are still the same. A community provides safety, belonging, purpose, and survival. Today we have different types of community. Listeners will learn the strength of the older generation in the creation of in-person communities and the strength of the younger generation and their ability to build virtual communities. How the two generations combined with the different types of community can have a massive impact locally and globally. Lisa Beck was born and raised in Virginia, Minnesota, graduated from the University of North Dakota with her bachelor's degree in Athletic Training and went on to obtain her master’s degree in Sports and Recreation Management from Springfield College in Massachusetts.
