iPad Intergenerational Project...

As part of iPad engAGE i decided to develop a set of workshops for both young and older peoples groups. The groups that participated in the Intergenerational Project included Roseberry Primary School and Carers Together in Redcar in which we were inspired by World War Two.

The workshops consisted of seperate focus groups and then concluded in a workshop which brought both groups together to watch the films they developed based around the curriculum theme of WW2.

Through evaluative feedback - both groups thoroughly enjoyed it and wanted to develop it more in the New Year. The Young (Year 5) students learnt alot due to it been 'live' and 'real' with the options to ask plenty of questions if had a querie. On the other end - the Older group enjoyed sharing their knowledge, stories and childhoods and being round the younger people provided a new enriching energy.
