====== Bridging the Generation Gap ======

  * Feb 2008: ICC decides to engage seniors in the community following the Youth Forum, in which a letter was sent accusing UVSA of standing against the community, being ignorant, and civically naive.
  * Be careful of those who will attempt to chụp mũ (accuse recklessly) us, as [[http://enderminh.com/blog/archive/2006/01/25/1170.aspx|Minh T. Nguyen has experienced]] (2006 Jan 25).
  * Letter to My Children and Grandchildren by Nguyễn Văn Phú (Vietnam Review) - [[http://www.ythuc.com/ythuc/letters/letter-to-my-children.html|English]] and [[http://phuongvy.com/next/truyen/NVPhu/ThuGuiConChau.htm|Vietnamese]]

===== Goal =====

  * Reconcile misunderstandings between seniors and youths.

====== Suggestions ======

  - Listen to them first.
  - Recite what they say and clarify everything.
  - Ask them if they are willing to listen to us.
  - Say what we want to say.
  - Ask them to recite back to us what we said.
