The HMC Podcast

Series 3 – Intergenerational

Host: Tom Lawson, Headmaster, Eastbourne College

Guest: Dr Gurusharan Singh Gogna, Teacher of Physics, Applied Mathematics, Enterprise & The STEM Practical Lab – The King’s Hospital School, Dublin

The conversation will:

• explain what the Tech Drive is
• say something about the practicalities that need to be considered if other schools are looking to do something similar
• say more about the benefits of intergenerational relationships and how there are as many benefits for the youngsters as well as the elderly – community and connection leading to improved wellbeing, empathy, confidence, purpose etc.
• say that, whilst all the recent media attention on mobile phone bans, AI concerns etc. are valid; this story adds some important balance to those debates
• say something about the fact that this is now an ongoing project and anything you’re happy to give away about future plans.
