It's been a few months now that Lucile, Alix, Anaïs, Alexia, Pauline, Éléonore and Séraphine, first year students at the Sainte-Marie high school in Neuilly (Hauts-de-Seine), have come every week to spend an hour with “their” resident. ) from the Léonard-de-Vinci retirement home in Courbevoie.
The high school girls are taking part in an intergenerational project led by the association Ce qui Compte Real (CQCV).
Their mission: to write a book based on the testimonies of their pair.
This year, 22 establishments from 5 regions are participating in this program, or nearly 250 high school students.
And almost half in Hauts-de-Seine, where the association was created, founded by the journalist and writer Anne-Dauphine Julliand.
“The project was born during confinement, as a link between the loneliness of elderly people and the anxiety felt by adolescents who had never experienced such restrictions.
While their great-grandparents had experienced the war,” explains Aude de Rotalier, the general delegate of the association, who came to Courbevoie to attend an important stage of the project with the duo photo session between the high school students and the residents.
