AnnotationThe Song Partners for Kindergartens programme, based in Bern, Switzerland, was founded in 2008 to empower older adults to teach and learn traditional songs with young schoolchildren. The programme was designed to benefit educators, children and older adults alike. Following an initial period of training, the older song partners spent weekly sessions with Kindergarten teachers and children. The project was presented at various events publicly to show to the larger community what it could do to build understanding and appreciation for traditional songs among generations. (JL).
