The project is part of Legacy Writing Partners, spearheaded by author, editor and publisher Christine Cowley who recently moved to the area.<\/p>\n<p>Cowley shared the details of the project with Huntsville councillors at their October 24 meeting, hoping that they too would spread the word.<\/p>\n<p>She said the  project aims to preserve the memories and stories of elderly residents in the community by matching them with students who will work with them one-on-one and produce short biographical sketches. Students will be coached on interview techniques and the various steps in the publishing process. They will also learn to edit and  produce a video component with the culmination of their work being presented at a public forum sometime in May 2017.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>We can honour our elders by listening to and sharing their stories as a community because that is our most valuable resource. <cite>Christine Cowley, Legacy Writing Partners <\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>She said the generations born in the late 1920s, 30s and 40s probably witnessed more rapid and significant changes than any other generation. \u201cIt\u2019s incredible what they carry in terms of human history,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n<p>Cowley said the experience will be a rewarding one for students as well as they will not only learn new skills that they can put on their resume, but they will also learn life lessons from the elders that they may be able to apply to their own lives.&#8221;The idea is to have a really enjoyable, fun event. The elders are feeling honoured. Their families come out. We have nice tea and the students are also made to feel that their work is really appreciated and enjoyed by the community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Councillor Nancy Alcock welcomed the project. She recalled  participating in something similar during her high school days and referred to it as one of the most important learning experiences at that time. She asked what type of support Cowley was looking for.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22088\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22088\" class=\"wp-image-22088 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/10\/Christine-Cowey-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Christine Cowley is spearheading the Legacy Writing Project aimed at preserving the memories of the elders in our community.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/10\/Christine-Cowey-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/10\/Christine-Cowey-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/10\/Christine-Cowey-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/10\/Christine-Cowey.jpg 1202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22088\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Christine Cowley is spearheading Legacy Writing Partners, a project aimed at preserving the memories of the elders in our community with the help of youth.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Cowley said she has submitted a grant application for the project and will be looking for business sponsors.
