Hi Amy,
I saw a great presentation at the Ecsite conference a few years ago about a reminiscence project for senior citizens run by the Museu de les Aigues near Barcelona about their 'memories of water'. As I remember it used a combination of pictures and objects to stimulate reminiscences and coffee to create a relaxed atmosphere (!), followed by time in their historical exhibition. I think the older visitors were encouraged to leave comments about their experiences and memories which were subsequently used by school groups studying history.
It looks like the person who gave the talk has since moved on but they still run the activity, 'Una Pluma De Agua' or 'Una Ploma D'Aigua' depending on the language you select - you can find it on their website under educational activities for older people and (hopefully) here: http://www.museuagbar.com/gentgran.php?agenda=5
Unfortunately the education part of the site isn't available in English so it might take a little clicking around on the Catalan or Spanish versions of the site but I'm sure they'd be helpful if you contacted them for more information.
Best wishes,
Nicola

Subject: Reminiscence projects
Dear all,
I'm currently working on updating our distance-learning programmes and I'm specifically looking for examples - hopefully from around the world - of recent reminiscence work and inter-generational projects that make use of reminiscence work.
I know that GEM members have been really generous with their time in the past, supplying information and case studies for inclusion in the programmes, and so I'm hopeful you'll be able to help out this time too! Perhaps others might find it useful as well?
Many thanks,
Amy
