<p><em style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Stone Soup: A Familiar Folktale Brings All Ages to the Table</em><span style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> is a fresh take on the centuries-old tale of the magic that happens when people work together. This version is told through a lens that everyone regardless of age has valuable ideas and skills to contribute. Two younger campers share an old family legend that leads a diverse doubtful and curious group of stranded strangers in a recreation area to a solution to their shared problem. It begins when downed trees from a terrible summer storm have blocked food deliveries. A special ingredient a stone symbolizing the hope and generosity of spirit of people happily joining forces is the catalyst to what quickly becomes a feast. Hungry stomachs are fed friendships are formed and respect for what everyone brings to the table is built. The story discussion questions and event instructions are a program offering of Roots & Rounds a nonprofit organization that focuses on the root principles of inclusivity respect and innovation to empower multi-age teams in difference-making in their next round of goals. Their mission is to bridge the wisdom and energy of all ages through improved intergenerational communication and leadership.</span></p>
