Can kids become friends with elderly people? Watch these adorable and heartwarming moments where six preschoolers bond with their new senior buddies through shared activities.
The ten-week intergenerational trial at St John’s-St Margaret’s Village, which has a nursing home next to a preschool, shows us how friendships between the young and old can form even in the unlikeliest of places.
About the Show
For the first time, six seniors and six preschoolers from St. John’s St. Margaret’s Village embark on an inter-generational journey to see if they can become friends.
Over ten weeks, they go through various specially planned activities to learn if they can develop patience, compassion and empathy, despite their large age gaps.
What benefits can they gain from inter-generational friendships? And can they make us a more compassionate society?
