Baby Boomers being upskilled by Gen Z
The Hindu
Through an array of virtual engagements, a social impact organisation is bringing alive the magic of intergenerational bonding
A few minutes into the dance session, Kushboo Shahzade Khan’s students interrupt her about the audio quality. “Can you please be a little louder?” says a student. Another person in the group makes a similar request. Kushboo adjusts her laptop and offers to repeat the instructions. The class breaks into a dance.
This reporter was recently in the audience for this dance class on Zoom where baby boomers were learning from a dance instructor from the Gen Z. It was being done for Silver Talkies, a social impact organisation working with older adults from seven cities, including Chennai, and promoting intergenerational bonds.
For Kushboo, this is the very first stint in teaching seniors and the fact that it is being done online, makes it challenging.
