Wool in School ™ are delighted to introduce our Intergenerational knitting project,
Knit-Stitch© with Schools , people in the community and Nursing Homes in Ireland.
Knit-Stitch© promotes Intergenerational
learning by creating new possibilities and
connections ,
sharing moments and making memories with children and older adults
through our tradition of
knitting. We believe this is
more important now due to the impact of Covid 19
on communities.
We aim to bring a learning
opportunity which will enrich all involved
encouraging understanding and respect between
generations.
