About the project

This 3 day project will involve UBC volunteers interacting with elementary school students from Walter Moberly Elementary School located in South Vancouver to promote intergenerational learning through sharing passion, storytelling, and community building. Our goal is to inspire grade 1-2 students to reflect on self-growth and their potential as life-long learners. Volunteers will participate in both classroom and outdoor settings to share their passion and experiences as well as assist in learning activities.
