Drawing On Wisdom was a community storytelling project that brought together older and young members of the community in Medway and Swale. They got to think about their shared experiences of challenges they’ve had during Lockdown. Older members of the community were asked to write memories of their of childhood. This could include challenges that they faced and any wisdom they had to share to you the younger generations who face the effects of uncertainty that Covid-19 has had on their lives. Those stories were then used in online workshops, where people listened, talked about, and noted their their reactions and what they felt about the stories. They then created artwork (drawings, paintings, or collages) to illustrate those stories. They focused on the part of the story that most stood out to them the most – whether it was a detail they saw or an emotion that the storyteller was felt.
