Intergenerational Storytelling Project

Everybody has a story!

The Intergenerational Storytelling Project is back! It is an amazing way to connect with someone from a different generation and share your unique life experiences with them! By the end of the project, you will create and receive an abridged storybook encapsulating your most meaningful memories.

How does it work?

Each senior participant will be paired up with one university student and they will meet up on Zoom weekly during the month of November. The student will work with the senior to compile these stories and any photos provided into a storybook using Canva (a computer design program) and a hard copy will be mailed to the senior upon completion.
