Bridging Generations - Storytelling

As lived experiences fade with time, storytelling becomes a powerful bridge between generations. This workshop invites seniors to share personal stories and life lessons—offering wisdom, reflection, and connection through spoken word, memory, and dialogue.

Objective

Participants will explore the art of storytelling as a means of preserving history, fostering self-expression, and building community. Through shared narratives, the workshop promotes empathy, cultural continuity, and intergenerational learning.

What to Expect

Story Circles: Seniors will share meaningful life experiences in a supportive, conversational setting.
Listening & Reflection: Youth participants will engage as active listeners, encouraging mutual understanding and appreciation.
Cultural Preservation: Stories will highlight personal heritage, resilience, and cultural traditions.
Creative Expression: Optional opportunities to record or document stories for personal or community archives.

Join us as we celebrate the voices of our elders, honor their journeys, and inspire future generations through the timeless power of storytelling.
