A new Inspired Youth film which highlights the importance of life stories work in the community is in production. The film, supported by City of York Council and funded by LocalPeople.org was made with residents of Woolnough house in York and student volunteers through Minds In Motion student charity.
The local community initiative pairs older members of the community with young people to explore life stories. The work is about validating stories and engaging older people in the community using an intergenerational approach.
“Projects like these are so important, to capture the memories and moments they have lived through their whole lives” ~ Esmond
The film will be screened at a premiere in September, for further details about the community initiative or to enquire about the launch please contact Susan Reape at City Of York Council – susan.reape@york.gov.uk
