Moderated Discussion – The Green Bench: A Decade of Wisdom and the Road Home

Building on the themes and experiences highlighted in *The Green Bench* documentary, this facilitated discussion focuses on the leadership implications of storytelling, intergenerational connection, and resident voice in senior living.

Schlegel Villages leaders will engage attendees in a reflective conversation on how symbolic programs like the Green Bench can be translated into sustainable cultural practices. Discussion topics will include how storytelling and resident-led narratives can strengthen organizational culture, deepen engagement and belonging, and position senior living communities as leaders in social connection and public impact.

Designed for executive leaders, this session emphasizes application and translation—helping attendees identify practical ways to integrate storytelling, intergenerational programming, and community partnerships into their own organizations.
