Together Project at Fortis Green
“I think this is a great idea but it is wasn't well executed. It was an hour's session and at 20 mins in, all that had happened was that we'd been given name tags. There was a group of residents of the nursing home sitting around where the children were but we were given no guidance on whether we'd have an opportunity to talk to them, whether that was up to us or whether it was not appropriate.
Some songs or activities that directly linked the children to the elderly attendees would be nice e.g. songs where we introduce the children by name. And overall some explanation as to how the session will be run and what's expected of us would make it much more comfortable. As it stands it's a bit awkward.”
