Grandmother's Stories Exchange

What would you ask your grandmother?

Children, young people, families, schools, and communities are invited to gather the questions they would love to ask their grandmothers and preserve the wisdom that lives in family memory.

Questions can become bridges.

Send the questions you would like to ask your grandmother, or record the questions and the responses if your grandmother is ready to share. Submissions can be written, audio, or video.

Family Memory

What stories from your childhood should our family never forget? Who taught you courage, kindness, faith, or work?

Culture and Place

What songs, foods, places, ceremonies, proverbs, or languages helped shape who you became?

Wisdom for Tomorrow

What advice would you give a child growing up today? What dream do you still hold for the next generation?

Consent, assent, privacy, and safety come first.

Protection

We are committed to data protection, privacy, and safety laws for children, families, and communities all around the world.

How to Participate

Record, write, or ask together.

You may send the questions only, or include your grandmother's responses if she is happy to answer. Please include your name, age if you are a child or young person, country, and a parent, guardian, teacher, or family contact where appropriate.

Do not send private identity documents, home addresses, medical details, or anything that would put a child or elder at risk. We will follow up directly before any public use.
