Another 10 weeks have gone by meaning that another quarter is completed. But, that also means another finals week is near. This past quarter it has be a great experience to learn and work on with different projects working with folxs who are older. From the first day where we did not know each other, and we tried to get vulnerable on Zoom cameras. To presenting on a multitude of topics: books about ageism or the anti-ageing industry, our oral history project, or on current events. And who can forget about meeting with each other and the other class Professors Lewis and Rabinowitz-Bussell—of course practicing social distancing outside—to make Valentine’s bags for folxs to make some magic, which with some, who have received the bags, we have been and continue to communicate with.
These past two weeks have allowed us to accumulate all the skills we have learned and gained to create our Health Aging Project (HAPs) Proposals we get to do next quarter! For my group’s project, we are planning on creating a night where folxs from multiple senior community centers, retirement homes, and assistant living homes. We are planning to allow folxs to choose what kind of relationship they are looking for (plutonic, romantic, interests-based, pen pals, etc.) and create different Zoom rooms based on what they are looking for. In addition to this, we are passing out little goodie bags that have safe-sex products, candies, and tips on how to have a relationship in a pandemic. I am excited to do all of this next quarter but for now a little break to reenergize
