Question 1

What is an Intergenerational Project?

Accepted Answer

Intergenerational Projects are activities created with the aim to connect people of different generations so that we can all learn from and with each other. Connecting is at the core of the project, and we aim to make sure that everyone feels heard and valued, regardless of their age.

Question 2

Is it free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, everything about this project is entirely free because we are very generously being funded by The National Lottery Improving Lives fund. Everyone involved in the project is being paid a living wage and a fair fee.

Question 3

Do I have to attend all the sessions?

Accepted Answer

We expect participants to attend all the sessions. We are aiming to write together and to create lasting, intergenerational connections, so attending all sessions will give participants the chance to get to know each other.

Question 4

Do you have to be a writer to take part?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! The event is open to people with all levels of experience. All you need is an interest in writing and a desire to connect.

Question 5

I want to take part but I am under 16, can I come along?

Accepted Answer

You most definitely can! However, due to safeguarding policies, a legal guardian will have to be present on the premise. They can either take part in the project with you or be waiting outside the room, although we highly recommend the first option!

Question 6

I want to take part but I am over 75, will I be too old?

Accepted Answer

Not at all, The Eric Liddell Community specializes in activities for older populations so you won't be alone at all. The workshop will also be held in a ground floor, step-free room, and accessible toilets are located nearby. Sadly, this is not a Dementia-Friendly activity.

Question 7

I want to take part but I am unsure I am the right age to participate

Accepted Answer

Don't be! Age does not matter in this workshop, all that matters is that you want to come along, meet people, and try your hand at writing!

Question 8

How do I take part?

Accepted Answer

Fill in this form online https://forms.office.com/e/3Q7Cpkvf2H . If you would prefer the form in a hard copy you can pick up copies from The Eric Liddell Community front desk and return them there.

Question 9

You are asking for personal information in the form, how is it being stored?

Accepted Answer

All information will be stored safely according to GDPR laws and will be destroyed at the end of the project. If you wish to no longer take part in the project and have your information removed before just email curtif@ericliddell.org and they will be permanently deleted.

Question 10

Is the building accessible?

Accepted Answer

Yes, The Eric Liddell Community is an accessible building and the workshop will be held in a ground floor, step-free room. Accessible toilets are located on the same floor.

Question 11
