As a result of Project Genesis, students, elders, and teachers will experience an increased awareness about the role of memory in the wellbeing of individuals and how memory can be stimulated by music and movement. Questions will differ depending on which segment of the target audience being interviewed. Students will be asked the impact of their experience and to identify at least 2 "take-ways" from this project. Teachers will be similarly queried and record the responses and observations of elders.
As a result of Project Genesis, students, elders, teachers, mentors and family members experience an increased awareness about the role of memory in the well being of individuals and how memory can be stimulated by music and movement. Family members and mentors noticed an increase in social activities and positive engagement with elders when the young people of TrekNorth visited. Many of the elders involved became directly involved in singing along and visiting with the young people.
