The intergenerational event included children from Kingsham Primary School who wrote individual poems for the time capsule about their hopes for the future. These poems were joined by letters from the care home residents about their past and present and their hopes and dreams for the next generation.
Commenting on the event, Jackie Cridlin, Home Admissions Advisor, Lakeview Grange, “World Poetry Day is a wonderful occasion to celebrate the art of poetry and its ability to connect generations through shared emotions, experiences and dreams. The event was an opportunity to bring our residents and local school children together to foster dialogue, creativity and mutual understanding. We hope that in 25 years’ time future generations will get pleasure and insight from the time capsule contents.”
