Conversations that Inspire | Seniors Magazine Out Now!

Spread the love

 

LCCMedia Foundation is dedicated to disseminating life impacting, mind changing, information and knowledge in an age where essential knowledge is lacking. the belief is that where there is knowledge, there is advancement, direction and purpose.

In 2021, they received a grant from New Horizon for Seniors Program to deliver painting sessions to seniors. The terms of the grant include hosting podcasts sessions with seniors asking them about their experiences in the pandemic. The last component of the grant is to create a magazine from the conversations had with our seniors. 

The English version – it is a bilingual edition- of the magazine is available digitally here. They believe that the magazine will be out for distribution before the end of the year.

 

 

The magazine includes very beautiful and empowering stories from a diverse audience of seniors. Some of the seniors who were featured are Connie Jewell, Connie Luchia, Jim and Donna Thompson, Murray Lloyd, Linda Rakos, Molly Boyce, Doreen Action, Syde Kidwai, Noel Checkley, Joanne Erickson , Ray Sampert, Mary Ann Reeves, Lorraine Nadeau and Sandra Lee.

The magazine captured some of the memories from the 15 week painting sessions with Eritrean master painter and teacher  Fetsum Teclemariam. Teclemariam covered how to use figure,still life objects and landscapes as a means of self expression. In the classes, the seniors learnt how to draw landscapes, animals, trees, faces and more.

Thirty two seniors were featured in the English edition of the Seniors Magazine. The French edition will feature forty seniors and it will be available digitally on January 15th 2022.

The directors of LCCMedia Foundation are grateful to the New Horizon Seniors Program and the Government of Canada for providing them with the grant to facilitate the painting sessions and the creation of the Seniors Magazine.
