Intergenerational telementoring for longevity and friendships
Intergenerational pairs are matched appropriately by intergenerational coordinators. They commit to 1hr-weekly telementoring sessions for 7 weeks. The results are very positive (re F.Park School ref. letter, list of published evaluations, links to EU Smart Ageing videos and to TV interviews):
- For Seniors: sense of usefulness, motivation to socialise which is the most important factor to prevent dependency
- Youth: gets a confident, skills and self-confidence.
