This week’s episode of Stories of Boon is a solo adventure with Alex at the mic, since Kae is recovering from a rather enthusiastic karaoke night, but don’t worry, she’ll be back soon.

Our stories today come from three very different places:

• 📵 A middle school in Santiago, Chile, where students are rediscovering conversation after a school-wide mobile phone block.

• 🏢 And Nagaya Tower in Japan, a place where residents aged 8 to 92 share meals, chores, and life together, building community across generations.

Together, they paint a picture of what’s possible when we make room for every generation to thrive. And this can happen whether you’re planting your first seed, or helping someone else carry the groceries home.
