ScrippsAVID
Arts-based, Virtual, Intergenerational, Dementia-friendly
Connecting generations through art.
Although designed to meet the accessibility needs of people living with dementia, ScrippsAVID connects ALL people across generations to share art, music, poetry, and stories. Everyone is welcome to come together to have fun, be creative, and build intergenerational friendships.
Live a healthier and happier life!
Live a healthier and happier life by being socially connected because we know that loneliness kills (The Harvard Study of Adult Development). Find joy by making friends with someone outside your generation. Join us in building a society that values people of all ages, including those living with dementia.
“My older partners have been humorous, talkative, and intellectual; they are so much more than the stereotype of what an ‘old person’ is.”
“I’ve been so isolated through the pandemic. I really have looked forward to having the video interface with the students.”
