Audiences: This is a project to complete with a small group of elderly people plus a small group of school-aged children.

Elders should be high-functioning and be able to tell their stories. Elders with mild dementia, but still good long-term memories, can be involved if there is extra staff or volunteers available to work one-on-one with them and the children to encourage and guide.
