Intergenerational workshop of writing in primary schools and rest-homes of the Pays de Bray.
Every year, a theme is chosen: in 2011/12, the children and old people
8 participants:
- the rest-home “Bois Joli” of Grandes Ventes with the primary school “les Feuillantines” of Grandes Ventes.
-the local hospital of Gournay-en-Bray with the primary school of Ferrière-en-Bray
-the rest-home “Jardins de Gournay” of Gournay-en-Bray with the primary school of Elboeuf en Bray.
-the residence “Charles Ferrant” of Neufchâtel en Bray with the primary school “Saint Jacques” of Neufchâtel en Bray.
There, the children discover the pleasures of writing, in the form of play of words, acrostics, charades and riddles. Some of them write small plays, and others learn a song. For the elderly people, these workshops are an opportunity for them to take up with the words, the paper and the writing. If different but nevertheless so close, both generations meet during these workshops, exchange, share their lived, their history, and their thoughts.
Unforgettable moments for all!
A closing afternoon of these workshops of writing takes place every year in june and allows all the participants to meet in conviviality.
