The problem that innovation answers
Poor social integration of senior citizens in large cities: lack of familiarity and support from neighbours leads to loneliness and social exclusion of older people, especially those with illnesses and disabilities. Seniors do not have the opportunity to actively participate in culture, even if a museum is located in the vicinity of their home.
How does innovation work?
A series of six meetings in which a volunteer visits a senior and gives him or her access to talks, workshops and lectures on works of art from the museum's online collection. During such a meeting, the senior citizen can share his or her interpretations, impressions and insights.
