IP READING
This Intergenerational Program was tested in 2009 for the first time, and has been a great success ever since. The idea: Children visit senior citizens in nursing homes to read stories in a comfortable setting.
The sessions create a very special atmosphere. The senior citizens appreciate the visits. And the children enjoy having the opportunity to "perform" in front of a small real audience.
