The main goals of the "Dialogue with Time" project are to create intergenerational dialog and to change preconceived notions about old people and aging. A visit to the exhibit is a fascinating and moving journey, and you leave it feeling different from how you were when you went in. The tour is a continuous series of moving, entertaining and challenging situations, and is led by guides – both men and women – aged 70 and over.
The intensity of the experience in the exhibit and the emotional identification created succeed in crossing the years that separate generations and in bringing young people into close contact with the experiences of senior citizens in Israel generally, and of their personal family members specifically.
The emotional closeness created during the tour floods visitors with emotions of closeness and love towards the old people in their own lives, and enables young people to briefly leave their personal world, which is so stressful and busy, and to think with curiosity and empathy about Grandma and Grandpa and the unique story of their roots.
The exhibit also helps bridge the intergenerational gap by making us aware of the personal, inner dialog each one of us has with Time, by stimulating the participants' curiosity about the worlds of the past.
The exhibit increases students' motivation to devote themselves to the project.
We recommend integrating the exhibit at different points during the process of writing the family history:
As a festive beginning - As a way to harness and focus participants' motivation in getting started
During the writing: To help with mid-way crises by raising motivation and reconnecting to goals
As a festive concluding event: Allowing a look back at the whole process from an empowering perspective
A visit to the Dialog with Time exhibit enhances the process of carrying out family history projects!
