Summary
“Impronte” (“Footprints” in English) is aimed to promote active and healthy ageing through the use of geocaching maps and pedometers for monitoring average steps taken.
The initiative is intended to enhance the physical, mental and social potential of older people. Furthermore, geocaching allows to share and strengthen the interest in the historical and artistic heritage of the city.
A social cooperative with specific expertise in AHA initiatives was involved to help implement “Impronte”. The cooperative holds weekly courses on digital literacy for older adults. These courses aim to get people familiar with new technologies and laid the foundation for active participation in the “Impronte” initiative.
