Family Memory
What stories from your childhood should our family never forget? Who taught you courage, kindness, faith, or work?
Children, young people, families, schools, and communities are invited to gather the questions they would love to ask their grandmothers and preserve the wisdom that lives in family memory.
Send the questions you would like to ask your grandmother, or record the questions and the responses if your grandmother is ready to share. Submissions can be written, audio, or video.
What stories from your childhood should our family never forget? Who taught you courage, kindness, faith, or work?
What songs, foods, places, ceremonies, proverbs, or languages helped shape who you became?
What advice would you give a child growing up today? What dream do you still hold for the next generation?
Send your questions, recording, or written story to Teddy Warria by email or WhatsApp.
The first and best 10 submissions will be considered for the next stage of the Grandmother's Stories Exchange.
Before publication, we will request assent and consent. We will also provide forms families may use to request parental permission for children to be published.
We are committed to data protection, privacy, and safety laws for children, families, and communities all around the world.
You may send the questions only, or include your grandmother's responses if she is happy to answer. Please include your name, age if you are a child or young person, country, and a parent, guardian, teacher, or family contact where appropriate.
Do not send private identity documents, home addresses, medical details, or anything that would put a child or elder at risk. We will follow up directly before any public use.
