Around 22,000 youth across Australia are taking part in a new federally funded program to encourage a bonding relationship between children and their elders.
The program, dubbed as ‘Ask Gran not Google’, encourages children to seek wisdom and advice from older Australians, instead of relying solely on technology.
The scheme, launched yesterday, allows school children to video conference Australian seniors, as well as write touching letters for advice. 150 Australian schools have signed up for the scheme.
