About this program

We believe in the importance of fostering meaningful connections. With our online webinars, we not only overcome social isolation but also overcome physical distances. Bringing our volunteers and seniors, bringing our generations together.

At Stitching Generations Together, we recognized the digital challenges faced by elderly individuals, and came up with our interactive digital webinars program. Our webinars are not just to educate and entertain but also give a platform where our volunteers and senior citizens can engage in live time, making a positive impact within our community.

We offer a diverse range of activities such as crafting techniques, storytelling, guest speakers, and online gaming. With this inclusive program we instill:

• Companionship, reducing social isolation amongst the older generation.

• Our volunteers can contribute meaningfully to their community by just sharing their own talents and skills.

• Intergenerational appreciation of the other generation.

• Supportive environment where everyone regardless of age, gender, status can be valued

• A platform for personal growth and learning for both generations alike.

Our webinars cover a diverse amount of activities

Crafting Techniques: 

Learn and share crafting techniques with seniors; crocheting, painting, drawing, jewelry making, origami, scrapbooking

Storytelling: 

More or less a gossip session. Sharing appropriate stories — from both generations. We encourage seniors to share stories from their own lives, memorable experiences, family traditions, significant events. With this we promote empathy, build confidence in elderly individuals by making them feel valued and appreciated, and enhance communication skills for everyone included.

Guest Speakers: 

Our guest speakers talking in our webinars will provide knowledge that appeals both generations. More information available soon.

Games: 

Hosting trivia, virtual cards, Kahoot, riddle solving, playing Roblox, etc. These engaging and entertaining games based on participants interests.

Talent Shows:

Showcasing your talent and skills digital such as: singing, playing an instrument, dancing, stand-up comedy, magic tricks, showing off an interesting collection, doing a haul, etc.
