Through educational resources for children and young people to learn to value and respect the elderly. The value of the wise. That’s why I write stories about old people. About the wise. Small bits of life. Stories of lived experiences, frustrated dreams, unfinished desires.
Stories that explain how a person has navigated his life, and how this experience can lead to teaching using three different formats:
– SONGS: Bits of life becoming stories and becoming songs. Stories that turn into fun and catchy songs that children can sing while enjoying and imbued with the positive values of growing up (age range: 0 to 7 years).
– COMIC:Visually appealing to children, who will discover fun, intriguing, unexpected stories filled with learning tips (age range: 3 to 9 years).
– SHORT STORIES:Read in schools by actresses and actors, where young people will be able to hear and learn real experiences of the wise people. Stories that will show how adults have been young, and how young people have become experienced people over the years (age range: 10 to 16 years old).
– Several activities will be taught to understand aging.
* Biology: study of cellular aging.
* Literature: reading classic works that show a wide range of life.
* History: to discuss the role of the elderly in society through the centuries.
* Social: using graphs indicating the percentage of dependent and independent people in each age group.
– Study by projects, based on different multidisciplinary activities named above, to generate an article on the value of the elderly in society.
– Discussion groups that oversees the stigmatization of old age as a disease. We need to see old age as what it really is, a stage of life itself.
