In March 2010 a group of older people from Age Concern and a group of younger people from the Youth Council came together to discuss topics around intergenerational issues that they had chosen. The debate was facilitated by Maggie Hurley from Age Concern and topics discussed included; the image of young people in the media, anorexia, family traditions and Oldham Town Hall. The debate was recorded and documented through using digital technologies. Comments were also posted onto social networking sites, specifically created for the debate. Prior to the debate the two groups were invited separately to a digital workshop, where they were able to familiarise themselves with the equipment and online resources in preparation for the debate. The digital content was put online during and after the debate to allow people to comment and continue the discussion.
