Project snapshot
Zen Chess Club is expanding its intergenerational chess workshops to engage more residents, including both adults and youth. Participants are not only learning chess techniques, but also practicing critical thinking, calculation, retrograde analysis and concentration skills which they are integrating into their everyday lives. These community events are also cultivating relaxing and accessible neighborhood spaces where residents are exchanging perspectives on shared community issues.
