Residents teamed up with pupils from Lisneal College for the project - one of a number of collaborations. The co-operaion has also resulted in the production of a Digital Time Line and DVD with everyone contributing personal stories and highlights of their lives.

All involved enjoyed showcasing this to the rest of the school and to the residents. Residents also enjoyed weekly computer classes with students from the Lisneal College.
