The Narrative Medicine Program at Columbia University is inviting community members who self-identify as older adults to participate in an Intergenerational Narrative Medicine workshop. The experience seeks to foster connections across our community at Columbia and beyond among undergraduates and a group of mixed-age individuals in an effort to break down intergenerational barriers created by age segregation, ageism, and urbanization. The workshops will be held every week on Saturday from 11 am–12 pm from February 24 until April 6, excluding March 16, and will be held in-person on the Columbia campus or virtually. If you’re interested in participating, please sign up by January 26. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Lina Huang at lh3176@columbia.edu.
