Tell me your story – intergenerational project

Project focuses on contacting home sheltering seniors with young people, who are asking their seniors in their phone contacts about different things from their past, such as historic important events they witness, interesting or inspiring stories from their life, old traditions and other information. Young people are asked to write about the things they learned from their senior partners. Project benefits both sides, it gives older adults something they can focus on during their isolation, reminding them about interesting events in their past, give them purpose in their living, mission of transferring history to younger generation. For younger people project give additional source of knowlege, so called living history experience, they can also learn how to make close friend connections with older adults.
