Bilang pagpapatuloy sa inisiyatibo at implementasyon ng Project Apo Ko: Kwento ni Lolo't Lola, Gabay ng Kabataan, para sa mga tukoy nitong benepisyaryo, naisagawa ang mga Storytelling Sessions sa Region IV-A at NCR mula buwan ng Abril hanggang Hunyo.

Ang nasabing aktibidad ay kinapapalooban ng pagsasalaysay ng mga kwento, karanasan o istorya na hango sa Apo Ko Session Guidebook na kapupulutan ng iba't-ibang aral para sa mga kabataan. Bida rito ang mga benepisyaryo nating senior citizens bilang tagapagkwento mula sa Golden Reception and Action Center for the Elderly and Other Special Cases (GRACES) at Haven for the Elderly (HE) na aktibo namang dinaluhan ng mga bata mula sa DSWD Reception and Study Center for Children (RSCC) at Sampaloc Child Development Center.

Layon ng gawaing ito na mas mapaigting ang magandang ugnayan ng mga lolo at lola sa mga kabataang nangangailangan ng maayos na paggabay, pangaral at mabuting pag-aasal bilang adhikain ng Project Apo Ko.
