Chapter 126 The Generational Bridge
- Through her involvement in an innovative intergenerational mentorship programme, Emma was matched with senior citizens from the community whose life experiences offered insight and understanding that enhanced her cognitive capacities, resulting in unanticipated educational opportunities for both generations.
- As younger generations concentrated on digital technologies and modern ways to problem-solving, Emma noticed that many older individuals in her neighbourhood were losing
- their knowledge and abilities. This led to the creation of the programme. This cultural gap was overcome by her suggestion to pair young, talented kids with older mentors.
