Connecting Through Stories - Co-Generational Sharing Model
The collective impact of storytelling promotes cohesiveness in a community, bridging young and old, past and present, the wisdom of long-time stakeholders (seniors) and new community investors (youth). Storytelling as a therapeutic word-based art activity is an innovative means of teaching values, traditions and creative problem solving. The collected stories will be workshopped to uncover interesting similarities and unique differences in the lives of the youth and the elders. The elders share “how I got over” personal stories that demonstrate resilience. In turn, the teens will perform their ACE stories live with each story revealing what they have learned (from the senior’s videoed stories about themselves) and life AND how to move through difficult times. This therapeutic artistic process is a resiliency tool. Our Senior and Teen Storytellers will then become performers, therapeutically acting out situations and events that have happened in their community.

A stories need to have some basic features like setting, characters, plot, episodes, and a climax, narrative is just a recount, whether exciting or boring.
