Learn With Grandma

During the conference, many of the team from The Word Forest Organisation bumped into Val Wood-Gaiger. She was often in the room asking a question or adding her comment. She set up an organisation called ‘Learn with Grandma’. This international network connects the different generations across the world, recognising that young and old have a lot to offer and teach each other. One of the unexpected consequences of the Covid pandemic was the worldwide planting of trees to celebrate her birthday.  Listen to her story, which she tells in her own unique way.
