The Love your Yiayia and Pappou Photo Contest
October 21, 2013 in Projects
The Greek American Heritage Society (GAHSP) is partnering with Cosmos Philly to conduct the Love your Yiayia and Pappou Photo Contest.
The purpose of the photo contest is to document short stories and photographs that detail the connection between grandparents and their grandchildren. It also provides the opportunity for grandchildren to reflect and think about the impact their grandparent’s personal stories and experiences have had on their life. This GAHSP program inspires young people to appreciate and understand their heritage.
Children can begin to more fully experience their heritage by learning about the personal history of their grandparents. The Yiayia and Pappou Photo Contest aligns well with the GAHSP’s mission to inspire social change and trigger personal growth by reconnecting both youth and adults to their Greek heritage.
