Getting Stuck in a Lift...

At the end of the program at the Milaukee Public Museum...we got stuck in a lift, around 15 of us - with wheelchairs and walkers included, mixture of ages and walks of life.
Being stuck in there for an hour really taught me ALOT - the elderly participants shared and gave up their wheelchairs for other participants to feel comfortable and really were the positive members of the group...they sang, made jokes and provided stimulating conversation!
It proves - this generation are a massive part of learning in our general community and they should be the ones teaching us!!!
