This program, Poetry for Life, is an eight-week intergenerational workshop series for 20 participants (10 seniors and 10 youth) at each of two sites on the Ebenezer Ridges campus, and 20 participants at the Martin Luther campus (10 seniors, 10 youth). The program has two unique goals: 1) for participants to have the opportunity to create, learn and engage socially while creating a legacy, and 2) to combat ageism through intergenerational programming. To evaluate project results, Ann Schrempp, Life Long Learning and Intergenerational Program Coordinator at Ebenezer Ridges will work with APP-MN teaching artists to coordinate program observation and evaluation and Ann will oversee evaluation of residents' experiences and survey for improvements in attitude, social expression, health, and overall well-being.
92 individuals were touched by these poetry sessions, including support staff, as well as parents of the children and loved ones and care givers of the seniors. 95% of the participants indicated that their ability to express themselves creatively through poetry and self-expression was enhanced and increased per poetry session.
