WALKING WITH OUR ELDERS
An Intergenerational Storytelling Journey"Honor Your Elders" is the motto of this very special residency
program, which enables older adults in the community to pass
along their heritage to the upcoming generation through oral
storytelling. Students learn history lessons and character
lessons as they interview elders and listen attentively to their
life stories. Under the guidance of Candace Wolf, a professional
storyteller and oral historian, students will examine the stories
for important themes and core values. They will learn to use
evocative details and express each narrator's unique voice as
they transform these life stories into a beautiful book and
dramatic performance.
