Our mini library sessions in East End daycares are off to an incredible start! Led by a passionate animator and mother, these sessions are creating a love for books and learning in the youngest members of our community.
Yesterday’s Youth Network Forum was a fantastic gathering of ideas, collaboration, and inspiration! REISA hosted the event, which brought together community workers, educators, youth advocates and intervention workers to discuss innovative strategies for supporting English-speaking youth in Montreal.
Intergenerational Art Project Brings Youth and Seniors Together
REISA, in collaboration with musician and multidisciplinary artist Louise Campbell, the EMSB, LaurenHill Academy, and the Steger residence, has launched an exciting intergenerational arts initiative that connects Lauren Hill Academy student volunteers with seniors at The Steger residence. This project, funded by the Department of Canadian Heritage, blending storytelling, art, and culture, fosters meaningful exchanges between generations through monthly creative sessions.
In their inaugural session, participants shared stories about their favourite places. Memories came to life through a visual arts activity where participants recalled the colours and scenes of these cherished locations, translating them into abstract (and sometimes literal) sketches. From the Wild West to a Hollywood stage, imagined sunsets from books, and hometowns worldwide, the session showcased the vibrant imaginations and diverse experiences of everyone involved.
