Project goal:
To create a space where seniors can meet regularly, engage in meaningful activities, build connections, and strengthen their social engagement and emotional well-being.

2. Encourage seniors to share their favorite activities and skills with others, fostering a sense of community and peer learning.

3. Conduct educational sessions on emotional well-being, communication skills, and healthy living to enhance seniors’ emotional stability and self-esteem.

4. Develop a sustainable “social café” concept to ensure the continuity of activities after the project ends, encouraging seniors’ active involvement in community life.
