No matter where you are on the globe, these holidays offer an occasion to begin an AgeEsteem inter-generational tradition.

  • Choose a holiday for the coming month from a country other than your own.
  • Research to discover as much as possible about how that particular holiday is celebrated.
  • Find someone from that country to help you if possible.
  • With children and friends reproduce that celebration: make costumes and props, cook food associated with that holiday…
  • Invite friends of all ages to celebrate the holiday with you.
