Get ready for some inspiring stories and powerful connections! We’re thrilled to announce an exciting new Creative Expressions Intergenerational Podcasting Project right here in The London Borough of Haringey.
Thanks to the generous support of Haringey Council, The Together Project joined forces with Creative Engagement Services CIC to deliver a program that’s all about bringing young and older voices together.
Our aim is simple but profound: to build bridges of trust with young people who might not typically engage with services and to create meaningful community links for our older residents. We believe this pilot project will lay the groundwork for long-term initiatives that directly address youth violence in our area.
Imagine the incredible conversations that will unfold as 10-16-year-olds, who may be at risk of youth violence or not in education, employment, or training (NEET), interview older adults from our community. These older individuals will share their invaluable wisdom and life experiences, offering a perspective that’s often missing in the media consumed by younger generations.
Some fantastic outcomes, included
For the Young People:
- A greater likelihood of connecting with local services.
- Boosted confidence and a real sense of accomplishment.
- Increased involvement in meaningful and creative activities.
- Sparked interest in developing valuable media production skills.
For the Older Adults:
- A stronger sense of connection and engagement within their community.
- An uplift in mood and feeling truly valued.
- Enthusiasm for further participation in intergenerational programs.
Stay tuned for updates on this incredible journey!
We can’t wait to share the stories and connections that emerge from this podcasting project.
