4. What are the benefits of including group discussions in this course?
Within these smaller groups, Iris will often ask you to share elements of your life stories. Sharing and listening to the stories of others is an effective way to become a better storyteller and often helps jog your own long-forgotten memories.

5. Why record a video memoir rather than write my life story?
Traditional written memoirs take time to create, edit and publish. They also require a lot of time to read. A video memoir makes the entire process easier for both you and your family. Instead of spending months or even years undergoing the lonely and often tedious process of writing out your life story in a cohesive and engaging way, you can convey your wisdom and heartfelt messages to your family in just six sessions.
Because of the digital format, a video memoir is accessible and can easily be shared with family members no matter their location.
