How did it work with teenagers? How old were them? I like the idea, but I wonder if it could work with kids.... I think I'll try...
Thanks, Imke.

dear marga!
the teenagers are between 10 and 14. i am still in the process of working with them. the project will take half a year and is called "generation x-change". both agegroups should exchange life -experiances, values, interests, "future-views" on an artistic level.
for instance, we asked the teenagers to "design" a love-letter. somebody drew a mobile phone with an sms saying "i love you a lot" on the display. the german equivalent- short-cut is :"hdgdl"=hab dich ganz doll lieb!) this is the beginning, i keep you posted:)!

Oh, Imke, I like the project very much. I think it can be a very rich social and artistic experience. Where are you doing that?

i'll do it in a sort of leasure-time center for teenagers in berlin-tempelhof. the seniors are coming from a time-witness-ngo but we are also looking for seniors from old-peoples- shelters.
