We are envisioning a global conference, or series of con­fer­ences, on the Internet where college-level students from all over the world will exchange cultural attitudes about people in their seventies, eighties, nineties, and beyond, as well as solutions to the current need for long-term care. We hope that through learning about the ideas of their counterparts in foreign climes, like China and India for example, America's youth will begin to change their perceptions about seniors and perhaps play a leadership role in promoting quality care for our seniors in need.
