One of the modules that stuck with me the most was the Power of Storytelling. I’ve already blogged about StoryCorps so was bouncing ideas off my teenager who ended up inspiring my project.
She is a freshman at the high school where I work. She is also a cheerleader and a few weeks ago the cheer team and senior football players visited two of the assisted living facilities in our city. She reminded me of this- and suggested I discuss a program that could build upon that visit.
This was a lightbulb moment and I started researching and writing about intergenerational storytelling. I loved connecting people that have something in common to help them to open up and to share their stories.
