In
the Generations
Can Connect Project, young people around the world will learn
about their communities, cultures, and countries¹ histories through
the living memories of their communities¹ seniors. Students will establish
relationships with seniors in their communities, and honor these seniors
and elders through the recording and celebration of their lives through
the creation of web pages and websites. Young people will learn that
older people have much knowledge and wisdom to share. Seniors will
learn that young people have much to share as well. Both youth and
seniors will begin to break down the prejudicial barriers between
generations. They will learn that everyone must play a part in creating
and sustaining our community. Participants will learn that we need
to become a ³Community of Learners.²
