Building a Community Legacy Together
Friday, October  6, 2017
7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Dormann Library (101 West Morris Street  Bath, New York 14810)
An intergenerational program for youth and older adultsThe youth from our Building a Community Legacy Together program
invite the public to their community presentation of their
findings from their interviews with community elders Friday Oct. 6, 2017 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. at the Dormann Library 101 West Morris St. Bath, New York
Refreshments will be served CCE Steuben is participating in the Cornell University
research project, Building A Community Legacy Together (BCLT). The BCLT
is based on the success of the Cornell Legacy Project in which more than 1,000
Americans over the age of 65 were interviewed to seek their practical advice on
issues such as education, work and career, dating and marriage, raising
children, finding happiness, and avoiding regrets. The BCLT program trains youth to interview elders ages 65
+ about their general advice for living a happy and successful life. In
addition to learning about older people’s life lessons and engaging in a
community service experience, the program exposes the youth to social science
methods, including interviewing skills and techniques to interpret and analyze
interview data. The BCLT program gathers the wisdom of older Americans so
their advice for living can be passed down to future generations. It allows
youth to learn about older people and aging and is expected to create respect
for the wisdom of age and combat ageism. It also provides youth with an
opportunity to develop skills sets that will be useful to them in the future
such as interviewing and research skills. Local 4-H
participants were trained and then partnered with seniors from across Steuben
County for the interviews. The youth have identified the life lessons they
learned for this presentation of their findings. This event is open to the
public and all who may be interested in the well-being of youth and elders.
