Description

The purpose of the project is to diminish loneliness and social isolation of elderly people and build the bridge between young and old by bringing them together and offer them opportunities for quality time and various developing activities. In the course of the project, young people will be recruited and trained to communicate with the elderly. Young people meet with the elderly, both by way of individual and group meetings and conduct joint activities. Young people will also be helping to increase digital skills of the elderly, provide them with necessary tools and equipment. During the meetings, the stories of the elderly will be collected and published, thus mapping the challenges of loneliness and raise the awareness in society on these issues.
