ABOUT THE MAIN PRESENTATION;

Struggling to get your teenager interested in family history? This presentation explores interactive tech tools, creative projects, and collaborative strategies to turn genealogy research into a rewarding family adventure. Learn how parents and teens can work together to build a family tree, unearth hidden stories, and connect with their ancestors – all while strengthening family bonds in the process.

Family coloring books aren’t just for kids. They are a great way to make your heritage accessible and interesting to everyone.
