eaheergb1With Eden’s ten foundational principles as its backdrop, our rich interactive Embracing Elderhood curriculum focuses on the skills and concepts listed below.  Recording Partners not only learn everything they need to participate in the project with confidence and ease, but they also develop an understanding of culture change philosophy and an appreciation of intergenerational relationships that will touch them long beyond the life of the project.

Our Recording Partner Curriculum includes two options…

1)    A two-day format for teaching any combination of volunteer & student recording partners

2)    An optional 12-session (50 min. ea.) format for training participating students


An Embracing Elderhood Recording Partner Workshop covers…
  • Understanding aging and ageism
  • Redefining Elderhood in our culture
  • How sharing stories helps our relationships grow
  • How sharing stories responds to loneliness, helplessness, and boredom
  • What to expect in a long-term care environment (if applicable)
  • Appreciating the power of giving as well as receiving
  • Trusting the process, rather than emphasizing the outcome
  • Making a space for “being” as well as “doing” in our interactions
  • Recognizing and honoring meaning
  • Communicating more effectively
  • Listening and interviewing skills
  • Creative ways to draw out stories
  • Using legacy creation to brainstorm meaningful engagement for individual Elders
  • Suggestions, tips and a powerful template for writing and assembling the legacy.
  • Technical, hands-on exploration of how to use the LifeBio.com system
