À propos de l'événement

Loneliness among older adults is a growing public health concern, with profound effects on mental and physical well-being. This interactive workshop explores Community Conversations and Human Libraries as powerful communicative tools to combat social isolation and foster belonging.


Through case studies, small group discussions, and reflective exercises, participants will engage in meaningful dialogue on the realities of older adult loneliness and explore practical strategies for creating welcoming, connected spaces. Attendees will also learn how to implement human libraries—story-sharing initiatives that honor oral traditions and lived experiences—to build empathy and strengthen community ties in workplaces, libraries, and community centers.
