Magazine with services


Summary

Now there is a new magazine that tells about good examples of Age-friendly Gothenburg.

Cover of magazine

In the magazine you can read about the community in housing for 70+, how generational meetings challenge norms and create understanding between generations and how fun it can be to ride a bicycle in pairs.

The purpose of the magazine is to increase awareness of what the city offers and what range of age-friendly services that are available. It covers services in all domains of Age-friendly Gotheburg: urban environment, mobility, housing, social participation and inclusion, support and service, information and communication.

Age-friendly practice in detail (click to expand):

Engaging the wider community

Project lead: Local authorities

Older people’s involvement: Older people were not directly involved

Details on older people’s involvement: We had earlier done some research through interviews with older persons that showed that the knowledge about our services were too low. Older persons were interviewed in all the articles.

Moving forward

Has the impact of this age-friendly practice been analysed: No

Do you plan to evaluate your age-friendly practice? No

Looking back

Reflections:
We could have had a campaign in social media at the same time and published all the articles on the web (not only as a pdf-file).

Challenges:
Not all old women want to have their picture taken.
