| Reflections on an intergenerational digital storytelling program in a First Nations Community in Northern BCThe Nak'azdli Whut'en recognize the importance to promote intergenerational relationships through meaningful engagement of Elders in the community. In partnership with the Nak'azdli Health Centre, we adapted a digital storytelling workshop to be used with Elementary school children and Elders in the Nak'azdli and surrounding communities. Elders met and shared their stories with grade 6 and 7 students. The students audio recorded the stories and added music and pictures to make them into digital stories. As this was a pilot, we will discuss how we adapted the workshop process and will share our learnings for future revisions of this workshop.4.6-S3 Lha’hutit’en University of Northern British Columbia | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2017-10-17 | |
| Piloting an Intergenerational Digital Storytelling Program with Indigenous Elders and YouthOur team piloted an intergenerational digital storytelling workshop aimed at building healthy relationships and preserving culture between Indigenous Elders and youth in the Nak'azdli First Nation community in Northern BC. In this study, a community based research approach was utilized which involved a partnership between the Nak'azdli Health Centre, the Elder's Society, the elementary school, and researchers from three Universities. This program took place over one month in Spring 2017, and included 10 workshop sessions. All aspects were co-created with community partners to ensure it met the needs of all partners and also aligned with the BC school curriculum. Grade 6 and 7 elementary school students along with a number of Elders participated. During 4 sessions, Elders shared personal and traditional stories with students. The students recorded these sessions and engaged with the Elders by asking them questions related to their stories. At the end of the project, the completed digital stories were shown to the community. Students, Elders, and teachers were interviewed mid-way through the project and at the final community showing. Researcher and community observations were also collected with a goal of considering the best approach for future iterations. Results from the interviews revealed that all groups found the project worthwhile in building intergenerational relationships and preserving cultural knowledge, with all members being engaged in the process. The interviews revealed that, while the intergenerational digital storytelling workshops were well received, this workshop must be revised in order to be sustainable and integrated within the school curriculum.4.6-S3 Lha’hutit’en University of Northern British Columbia | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2017-10-20 | |

| Promoting Mental Health and Well-being of Nak'azdli Elders Promoting Mental Health and Well-being of Nak'azdli Elders using intergenerational digital story telling: Findings from the Nak'azdli Lha'hutit'en Project. This presentation described one way to document oral histories while simultaneously building intergenerational relationships through the use of technology. We discussed how we were able to: 1. Introduce technology as a means to foster relationships between elder and youth to help preserve cultural identity; and 2. Use technology as a bridge to reduce social isolation and improve mental health and wellbeing of elders in the community by facilitating an opportunity for meaningful contribution and to connect to younger generations in the Nak’azdli community
