The opportunity to discover the city through the eyes of the elderly is unique and profound. The Living Monument event enriches knowledge about local history through stories and interactive discussions between seniors and young people. Seniors share memories of historical events and local traditions, creating a space for learning and connection. Young people have the opportunity to ask questions and document stories, helping to preserve intangible cultural heritage.
Creative writing workshops develop narrative skills, helping participants express their experiences and appreciate the community's past. This activity promotes respect and understanding between generations, strengthening community bonds and local cultural identity.
The workshop is part of FIG - InterGenerational Festival which promotes intergenerational collaboration and cultural exchange, strengthening solidarity and social inclusion in Timisoara.
