Abstract	This article proposes that students heighten their own social connections and those of seniors by co-creating mini-memoirs with older people. Mini-memoirs are short collections of self-selected memories that the seniors wish to save and to share with others through various modes of communication and in any language. Drawing insights from such areas as Positive Psychology and Service Learning, the article suggests possible benefits of the memoir co-creation process for both the seniors and the students. Recommendations are made about how to do, store, and share memoirs. The article argues that co-constructing memoirs represents one important path toward a more connected, more reflective, more sustainably developed, and healthier world. (As Provided).
