Participants engage in local photo outings, digital storytelling, and the creation of an online cultural map. In bridging age divides and empowering seniors’ online capabilities, the project will preserve heritage, promote volunteerism, and build inclusive learning communities.<< Implementation >>We will design a facilitators’ toolkit, run local intergenerational walks, conduct digital storytelling workshops, produce a shared cultural map, train adult educators, and host multiplier events.
