Linking Lives

Linking Old and Young lives ... The Drop Inn Centre for Young People is running a 3 year project funded
by the Methodist Circuit to help break down barriers of communication between older
people and young people and dispel myths usually created by the media.

After a three month consultation period we are now planning some one off taster and meeting sessions
between the two generations.

The main view from both generations is that they can learn a great deal from each other about lifestyles,
working and leisure time, and that bad press coverage gives all young people a bad
name causing concern. Some of the ideas from the consultation include story swapping sessions,
computer and mobile phone awareness, games, skills swaps.

We would very much like to plan an activity with your group and are open to all suggestions and ideas,
it would involve a small group of young people visiting your group and an invitation for yourselves
to visit the Drop Inn Centre for a return activity.

This is a great opportunity to build bridges within the community and I hope you will join us in creating
an environment of mutual respect and awareness of each others issues and needs. If you would like
any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.
