Preserving & passing-down generational wisdom
*Filial Piety: traditional virtue of exhibiting love and respect for one's elders and ancestors
Our Impact
The continuous loss of third-spaces widens the disconnect of older generations from intergenerational pools of knowledge. OurSharedFutures leverages modern tech to connect them back, dedicated to preserving and passing down generational wisdom. Through youth-led, tech-enabled projects, we hope to build bridges between generations across the globe.
