741.jpgLegacy Project: Lessons

The Legacy Project empowers children to identify and interview “successful seniors” in their communities, much the same way the Blue Zones team interviews the longest-lived people.

To assist with this Project, we’ve chosen to utilize the Big6™ Information Problem Solving Skills. This teaching approach incorporates six stages that correlate directly with each of the Legacy Project Lessons.
