This event is part of UCL’s Disagreeing Well campaign, a series of events that seeks to explore what is required to help people to disagree well – a vital skill in encouraging respectful and constructive communication.
Looking across different topics from ‘disagreeing in the online world’ to ‘disagreeing in public life’, a diverse range of speakers will share their insight, knowledge and personal experiences about how we can learn to disagree well, and reflect upon what happens when we do not.
From culture wars to climate change, housing to migration, younger and older people are often cast as opponents. Coming from diverse ages and backgrounds, our panel will tackle this assumption, aiming to understand and bridge the generational gap.
“Are we in the middle of a generational war? Are Millennials really entitled ‘snowflakes’? Are Baby Boomers stealing their children’s futures? Are Generation X the saddest generation? Will Generation Z fix the climate crisis?” – panellist Professor Bobby Duffy, Generations.
Together with participation from the audience, the event will explore how we can have constructive conversations – not only across society, but within our personal lives.
