Company Description
For our project, we worked in collaboration with the municipality of Alexandru cel Bun (part of Pietra Neamt) and the regional development agency ADR-NE. The mayor of Alexandru cel Bun, Cosmin Bălan, sensed that the residents lacked happiness in recent years and our task was to identify the existing problems in the municipality. After our initial research, observations during the transect walks and conducted interviews with residents, we came up with our project proposal.
Product Description
Our project aims to reduce loneliness and social isolation among elderly residents in Alexandru cel Bun by creating a community center in an existing building, run by local volunteers and supported by professionals such as sports coaches and physiotherapists. The center would help (elderly) people feel seen, respected, included, and more connected to the wider community.
