Speaker: Amie Peacock & Manjit Thandi
Topic: Beyond the Conversation Society
Beyond the Conversation is a non profit association with the goal of ending social isolation by building strong community through conversation.
People are experiencing loneliness and isolation, a reality that most of our Canadian-born, immigrant seniors, and refugee claimants are facing in life. Surveys have shown that language barrier is the major cause of social isolation. Amie Peacock founded the Beyond The Conversation group in November of 2015 to help seniors in Metro Vancouver to learn basic conversational English.
