## About this plan

At the Soledad Lamprea Public Library in Perdomo, kids have a date with the memory of the neighborhood. The gathering "Older Adults, a Universe of Stories" brings together several seniors who share tales, words, and memories passed down through generations.

The event is part of the Territory of Childhoods program, designed to connect younger generations with older voices and to show the value of listening. It is a good plan for families, a chance to meet the people who built the neighborhood and to come home with a fresh conversation.

Entry is free, so all you need is to arrive on time and feel ready to ask. It is a different way to spend an afternoon in Bogotá, away from screens.
