Newspapers build bridges
Generations in dialogue in Mainz
Coordinated by the Stiftung Lesen and supported by the Rhein Main Publishing Group Foundation, ‘Newspapers build bridges’ wishes to lead young people in Mainz to become socially involved.
The intention is to activate pupils to visit elderly people living in homes for senior citizens, to read to them and hold discussions with them. Here, the project has the specific aim of establishing discussions between generations on a permanent basis among schools and senior citizens’ homes in the same vicinity.
Mutual reading sessions can open up a new view of daily life and society for the elderly people, while the young people can profit from the experience and the knowledge of older people.
This project is run by Stiftung Lesen (Germany)
