摘要

Background

Loneliness and lack of physical activity affect the health of young and old alike. In order to develop low-threshold, local offers to promote social interaction and physical activity, a community-based, participatory approach offers a promising approach. In this pilot project, a local, intergenerational offer to promote social interactions and physical activity was developed, implemented, and evaluated together with a housing cooperative with older adults and a daycare center.

Methods

The pilot project was developed and implemented in a participatory manner with two local target groups. The needs of the target groups were identified using different approaches and incorporated into the design and implementation of the offer. Satisfaction with the offer and the type and intensity of the social interactions and physical activity were then evaluated.

Results

The needs analysis showed that a wide variety of movements was desired. The resulting offer was conducted once a week for 6 weeks. In all, 85% of the children and 70% of the adults were satisfied with the program. The offer promoted both social interactions and physical activity among the participants.

Conclusion

Participatory development made it possible to design the offer to meet actual needs. The challenges were the long-term participation of older adults and adapting the activities to the different needs of both target groups. The project shows that participative, intergenerational offers can successfully promote physical activity and social interactions. Future projects should continuously incorporate the needs of the target groups and offer flexible, adaptable activities.
