Project 'Eeuwige Student'

Category: Research, Interviewing & Design
Year: 2021

For the behavioral design project at school, me and 2 other people had to improve the participation of 'highly educated' lonely elderly (65+) in Amsterdam East.

For this we used the behavior design canvas and had to interview a lot with the elderly in East to see if this was really a problem. This turned out not to be the case. Most elderly people have a busy schedule. The problem we had encountered is that she was aging too much because they don't associate with young people.

At school we have SRPs that you have to get every year and we thought of coming up with an SRP activity where students and older people are matched and do things together where they both learn from each other.

We eventually came up with a workbook that the student and older person can fill in together and perform activities together based on the workbook.
