This week, we came together to explore and celebrate Diwali, the Festival of Lights. We spent time chatting about the festival, sharing thoughts and learning a little more about what Diwali means and how it is celebrated.

It was so lovely to see everyone getting involved, listening to one another, sharing ideas and enjoying the experience together. These moments are what our intergenerational project is all about, bringing generations together, creating friendships and learning from each other.

Of course, we couldn't celebrate Diwali without getting a little creative! We worked together to create some beautiful pictures and made our very own lanterns. There was lots of conversation and smiles along the way, with everyone adding their own personal touch to their creations that were filled with sparkles and jewels.

Once our lanterns were finished, we brought them all together to make a really beautiful display. Seeing everyone's creations side by side was just wonderful, and we were all so proud of what we had achieved together!

It's weeks like this that remind us how special our friendships are. It's not just about the activities we do, but the conversations we share, the laughter and the memories we make. Our older friends showed such patience as they supported the children, listened to their ideas and enjoyed creating their own lanterns alongside them.
