So how many care facilities have you personally walked into and done this with?
Yeah, I was gonna ask
Some young people
have old souls and they love hanging out with old people and they just feel really comfortable in that space.
But a lot of people who are young
don't necessarily like hanging out with older people or there it makes them uncomfortable or for whatever reason or they might just think it's boring or that it's not cool or whatever.
So how do you get this work to be
Fun and cool.
Like do you find that that
young people actually are starting to change the way that they think about older people and aging.
Wow.
I mean, I think it's clear what the older folks get out of it.
They get a shock of entertainment, they get exposure to young people, they get to dance and laugh and have fun.
Um, you know, often we imagine nursing homes being these really sort of sad, lonely places.
So it's clear why a silent disco would be fun for them.
What do you find that the young people are getting out of it?
Like when they post on Instagram, what's
in it for them or like how are they growing or what are they benefiting?
Do you have any stories or anecdotes?
from this work that you think would be worth sharing?
