Episode 2: Intergenerational Storytelling... #LegacyAfterDark

This video was originally a Facebook Live

Topic: Intergenerational Storytelling

Link: https://www.thelegacyrecorder.com/telltheirstory

Question of the day:

Who in your life can you work with right now to have a storytelling conversation?

Ok, what the heck do I mean by that & what does it look like...

• Ask them a question about their life (a specific memory, something they brought home from a trip etc.)

• Take the time to ask how that moment made them feel

• Did that moment/thing/person change how they viewed the world or their life?

Happy writing!

A few of my favorite ways to be a better writer... things you can do today :) Also how I wrote The Legacy Recorder Community Guide

This episode spells out what a Volunteer can expect when they use the Legacy Recorder with others and how it benefits everyone involved.

You will hear about the benefits of using the Legacy Recorder process from the perspective of the individual, family, and volunteer.

How to work with someone to tell their story when they have dementia, Alzheimer’s or another kind of memory loss

Sometimes it can be hard to have, what we consider to be, meaningful conversations with somone who is experiencing memory loss. Taking the time to have these conversations with people regardless of their cognitive ability is crucial to their quality of life. The simple act of sitting with someone and really listening to how they are doing is a simple way to make a huge impact.
