Generations together
This is our biggest project so far started in 2020 in cooperation with the European solidarity corps. By implementing the project, we want to achieve change in the community: to reduce the gap between young people and seniors, as well as to increase the cooperation of these social groups through joint workshops, access to socially responsible business ideas, marketing, IT skills. We want to create an online trading platform for seniors and learn with them and teach them how to use it. By sharing the experiences during the project, the experiences of seniors, we will involve a wider part of the community to take an interest in the ongoing project, its activities, and the results to be achieved. It is hoped that the created platform would serve one of the most vulnerable social groups, become a platform for their socialization, encourage them to communicate with clients, get to know the younger generation even better. The main results of the project are focused on two groups: seniors, who will be helped to discover opportunities for socialization and self-expression; and us – the organizer of this project and other young people in the community. We, together, will develop many project management and coordination skills, learn IT and sales skills, as well as get to know the lives of seniors, help enable them by creating an e- commerce platform.
