JOY Joining Old and Young

JOY brings together the older and younger generations through shared experiences and paired activities to create relationships and friendships based on our core values of respect, empathy and compassion. We use the similarities and differences of these two generations to foster interaction, connectivity and communication and encourage both age groups to learn from each other.

We have established a Lifetime Stories project. Providing workshops to help children (year 6 and older) to become true storytellers and then to help them become story explorers. This they do with their grandparents or a member of their family from the older generation.
