From October 5th to 11th, the town of Agde celebrated the 75th edition of Blue Week, an event dedicated to raising awareness about the place of seniors in society and promoting local initiatives.
As part of this event, the after-school program at Anatole France school hosted residents from the Calade residence on Tuesday, October 6th. Following a shared meal with the two CP classes, participants gathered in a specially arranged room for exchange activities.
Children, seated on mats, learned magic formulas and played with puppets during a fun workshop, while seniors swapped their caps for the children's hats, allowing each generation to step into the other's shoes. This encounter aimed to break down mutual perceptions between generations, under the theme 'Crossed Glances: When Meeting Breaks Down Representations'.
This moment of sharing, appreciated by both generations, fostered imagination and strengthened intergenerational bonds. The children also sang a song to thank their elders. The meeting concluded with a mutual commitment to reconvene for a future workshop, marking the beginning of a new shared adventure.
