Generation 305: An Intergenerational Poetry Project
Project by Caridad Moro-Gronlier, in partnership with O, Miami
Generation 305: An Intergenerational Poetry Project is a free, community-based initiative designed to preserve the stories of Miami’s seniors, build connections across generations, and foster meaningful dialogue through poetry.
Facilitated in collaboration with O, Miami, Generation 305 offers free, multigenerational poetry workshops open to K–12 students, their parents, young adults, seniors, and the public.
The project also brings community poets into Miami-Dade Schools to lead workshops that develop civic-minded poetry, promote intergenerational storytelling, and challenge generational
The poems created in the workshops will be turned into permanent public art, and Moro-Gronlier will document the project through photographs, videos, recordings, mini-films, and project-specific, original poetry, which she will use to create a digital archive.
This program is made possible by the generous support of the Academy of American Poets and the Mellon Foundation.
