"Intergenerational Learning"
Educating our children and sharing the experiences of our elders are critical to the economic development of our community. This Tuesday@REI will focus on innovations in public education, particularly those involving elders from our community. Sharing stories in celebration of learning will be a pedagogical theme of the session and the mechanism we will use to tap the wisdom of the audience - young and old.

Presenters:
The Program Format will include an Appreciative Inquiry session with people pairing off to share a story with each other about an empowering learning moment involving an older person (e.g., mentoring); the partner will present the story to the group.
