Stories from Our Closets Program Guide

In this 75-minute intergenerational program, families with children ages 10–13 explore the value of telling family stories inspired by a personally meaningful and treasured object found in their own closets — and brought to this program.

Families will:

• Understand that rich and meaningful family objects can provide prompts for sharing family stories, family history, and even world events.
• Experience that storytelling, for the listener and the teller, is a powerful tool for connection.
• Understand that knowing our family’s story can help us to grow more confident and resilient.
