Celebrate Living History Sponsorship Proposal
Forget about Ages tour
Hello my name is Bev Wilkinson and I am the founder of Celebrate Living
History, which is the only journalism program in Australia that is
focussed on connecting students with senior citizens.
I have been given the opportunity to represent Australia as a speaker for the
Generations United Conference in the US. This event attracts leaders,
educators and advocates from around the world. And it is my goal to learn
from this experience. To interview and discover successful organisations and
individuals around the United States that breaks down stereotypes about age.
My goal is to create a global movement to forget about ages. To have the
ability to show we all have an important story to share regardless of how old
we are.
I am flying to the US in five weeks and I am looking for major sponsors
to join me on this journey.
Join me! So we can show the world that we Australians do care about
our older generations.

Let me share my story!
In 2012 I interviewed seniors in my local area, Frankston Victoria, Australia
for an exhibition.
While I was interviewing the most interesting people I'd ever come across I
began to realize the value of the stories these senior citizens were imparting.
These people had lived our history.
As I listened, our age barriers were forgotten and relationships began to
form between us.
I was inspired. Sharing my life changing experience of intergenerational
connection with young people became my goal.
In 2012 I developed a university internship program with the help of Griffith
University scholar and tutor, Stephen Stockwell, Swinburne University and
Frankston High School.
The Celebrate Living History program grew into an online platform with the
focus of connecting young students with seniors to document stories for
future generations to enjoy and learn from.
I hope that by sharing my experiences of mentoring secondary and tertiary
students to curate stories for the Celebrate Living History online portal I can
enthuse others to take up this important work.
