This event is inviting 6 to 16 year olds to sit (face-to-face, over a video/audio call) with one older person (65+) in their house and listen to them to write the older person’s biography and then convert it into a story. The idea is to make the older person feel special by giving them an opportunity to speak with the young and tell their story.
