Hello dear Reader

Greetings from The Nona 911!

The cov-19 pandemic slowed down the speed of our entire world.
While living in uncertain times, we had stared through the window looking for our best vivid memories. We were in a rush to preserve the warmest conversations with our loved ones,      we treasured even more the words and sayings of our parents and grandparents.
In Latin America and around the world, seniors were the most affected, fighting with the new coranovirus and isolation. We repeated to ourselves over and over again:
How do I want to be remembered?, How has my life been different than I’d imagine?,
Do I have any stories to share for future generations?
In such as time, The Nona 911 was born as safe space to facilitate heart-to-heart conversations across generations.
The Nona 911 is an online platform to exchange stories between youth and seniors.
Through the experience of story exchange seniors will learn from youth about digital content creation, and youth will learn from seniors what is not written in textbooks and transmit generational wisdom.
Asimov Isaac stated: “Science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom” ,
in The Nona 911 we care about wisdom and this evolves and is transmitted within our community.
The Nona 911 represents the voice of experience in praise of ancestors and generational wisdom. Nona is the word for grandmother in italian and 911 symbolizes the sense of urgency to listen and map to the most exciting and diverse stories of seniors and other underrepresented groups before it is too late and those stories vanish in the midst of silence and amnesia.

In The Nona 911, we value the past by preserving the oral tradition, we cherish the present by creating meaningful conversations across generations, we create a path towards a better future.

These are our core values :

– Intergenerational bridge- We bring together generations.
