We are running an Innovation Challenge which is a 3-month open innovation process to rethink what and how we can improve the lives of older people and enhance lifelong learning.
We’re looking for people and organisations who are passionate about improving the lives of older people. I would like to invite you to be part of the conversation currently taking place at; https://www.facebook.com/groups/341016953007911 .
At this stage, we’re exploring and learning everything we can about lifelong learning: what exists today, what doesn’t and what does the future hold. In particular, we are looking into digital exclusion in a changing world, unlocking the priceless value of a lived experience and how a reimagined lifespan will enable a more purposeful, financially viable and healthy post middle age- pre old age period.

@nancyzikken Yes, @taniatsiamis have a look at https://amsterdamhealth.nl/ There are a few collaborations who focus on this question. For example: https://amsterdamhealth.nl/collaborations/age-friendly-amsterdam and https://amsterdamhealth.nl/collaborations/amstelhuis--living-lab
Apart from participating in the discussion running at Facebook, my remark is stop generalising about ouder people but focus at a certain group or segment. For instance, people who who feel or are lonely. Than my second remark is, ask every participant in the discussion to look for and visit one of the targeted older people and talk about the activities in which they possibly love to be engaged.
@lotteduursma could you help out?
@maartenosieck , your network might be able to contribute to this question!
Hi @annemariezimmerman , do you have some ideas on this?
