Podcast Overview

Welcome to iGen introduces listeners to a unique educational program in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. iGen, which is short for intergenerational program, is a partnership between Sherbrooke Community Centre (a long term care home) and the Saskatoon Public School Division that sees 25 grade six students from across Saskatoon spend their school year learning with and from the residents of Sherbrooke. The iGen program started in 2014 and has made a difference in the lives of hundreds of students and residents. This podcast will share how iGen works in a long term care setting and introduce you to the students, residents, teachers, staff and parents who care so much for the program. It is our hope this podcast will inspire teachers and long term care staff to see the amazing benefits of intergenerational relationships and how they can form their own unique intergenerational programs in their communities.

Episode Four - Slow and Gentle Approach

Hello and Welcome to iGen. This is a podcast that shines a light on a unique and inspirational education program that takes place at Sherbrooke Community Centre in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. My name is Eric Anderson and I am the Communications Leader for Sherbrooke Community Centre.

So we thought it would be interesting to catch up on how the school year is going so far and how unique this year’s iGen class. When I say we I mean iGen Lead Teacher Keri Albert and secondary teacher, Lorna Conquergood. I sat down with Keri and Lorna in the iGen classroom at Ecole College Park school, which is just across the park behind Sherbrooke and we talked about why slow and gentle was a starting theme for this year’s iGen class. In our conversation, we also discuss the strategies Keri and Lorna used to empower students to help form relationships with Elders, and why making a safe space for Elders, students and families was such an important priority this year.

This is episode three of the podcast and it features two very hard working and slightly exhausted teachers. Keri Albert is the lead teacher for the iGen program and Lorna Conquergood is the secondary teacher. Together, they did an incredible job of guiding the 2022/23 iGen class through the school year and shared some of their insights on this year's class in this episode.We recorded this episode at the end of June in the iGen classroom at Ecole College Park, which is located near Sherbrooke Community Centre. Keri and Lorna were understandably exhausted after a busy school year, but as you'll hear in this episode, they are so proud of this year's class and the impact it had on Elders and themselves.

It is a day full of meaning, happiness and some wonderful moments of spontaneity and Keri and Lorna do a great job of conveying the excitement of the day in this episode.
