Let Me Be Your Memory
“Let Me Be Your Memory,” an innovative, first-of-its-kind program bringing audio memory preservation to teenagers for the promotion of Alzheimer’s awareness, is the subject of a video from ABC 33/40’s “Focus at 4” news series. The project was created via a unique collaboration between The Voice Library, Tuscaloosa Magnet Middle School, and Cognitive Dynamics Foundation.
As part of the school’s International Baccalaureate Program, middle school students were tasked with recording audio memories from their loved ones over the Thanksgiving holidays in an effort to raise awareness for National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.
It is hoped that this concept, piloted in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, will be a model for other schools across the country, as a means to engage teenagers in Alzheimer’s awareness, and to promote intergenerational outreach.
