Visits will include a Multigenerational House in Berlin that is one of 500 multigenerational day centers within a national program of Germany and a Senior Partner in School within the national program of Intergenerational Volunteer Service. In Dresden, participants will visit the Media Culture Center, Intergenerational Radio and IG 13, Februar 1945, a school project that comes to terms with the past. In Halle, participants will visit an art academy and a mutual living, learning and support house for all generations.
